Story Telling, thought-partnering, Grant Writing & Strategic Consulting
Turn Vision Into Funded Reality
Grant writing is not just about applications—it’s about positioning ideas so they resonate, align, and secure support. I work with artists, organizations, and institutions to develop compelling proposals that connect vision with funding.
What This Is
Grant writing as narrative precision and strategic positioning.
Not just applications—complete, fundable frameworks.
Core Services
Grant Writing
Full proposal development tailored to funder priorities, including narrative, impact statements, and required materials.
Grant Strategy & Prospecting
Identification of aligned funding opportunities and development of submission pipelines.
Narrative Development
Refining project language to clearly communicate purpose, urgency, and impact.
Budget Framing
Creation of clear, realistic budgets that support the proposal and demonstrate sustainability.
Application Review & Editing
Polishing existing drafts to strengthen clarity, alignment, and competitiveness.
What I Bring
I offer a multidisciplinary approach grounded in storytelling, program development, and strategic alignment. My work spans film, music, literature, and arts education, allowing me to shape narratives that are both emotionally compelling and structurally sound.
With experience writing for major funding institutions and managing large-scale arts programming, I understand how to translate creative vision into fundable, actionable proposals.
Why This Work Is Different
I approach grant writing as both an art and a system.
You receive more than strong writing—you gain strategic positioning.
Deep understanding of funding ecosystems (Creative Capital, SFFILM, NEA-aligned processes)
Proven experience managing programs, budgets, and deliverables
Ability to articulate complex, multidisciplinary work with clarity
Commitment to equity, community engagement, and cultural impact
Who I Work With
Artists and creative practitioners
Arts organizations and cultural institutions
Education and community-based programs
Independent filmmakers, musicians, and writers
Selected Experience
Assistant Director of Education, Youth Speaks
Managed programming across 20+ schools, including curriculum alignment, partnerships, and budget oversight.
Multidisciplinary Artist & Director
Creator of film, music, and literary works presented and developed internationally across the United States, Europe, and Latin America.
Grant & Residency Applicant
Experience developing proposals for Creative Capital, SFFILM, NEA exchanges, and other major funding bodies.
Approach
Every project begins with listening.
From there, I develop a clear strategy, refine the narrative, and build a proposal that is aligned, compelling, and complete.
This is a collaborative process designed to move your work forward with clarity and intention.
Let’s Work
If you are seeking funding and want your proposal to reflect the full strength of your vision, let’s connect.
