A Note From Jill:
As a grant writing consultant, I aim to help mission-driven organizations like yours secure the funding you need to grow and sustain your impact. Many nonprofits don’t have the capacity for a full-time grant writer—that’s where I come in. With a deep understanding of what funders look for, I help you craft compelling and strategic proposals tailored to your unique goals and programs.

Specializing in grant applications to foundations and individuals, I bring the expertise and insight to guide you through the process and increase your chances of success. From one-time grant projects to ongoing support, my services are designed to save you time, ease your workload, and help you focus on what you do best: serving your community.

Why Grant Consulting?

Increase Funding Success

Grant writing is highly competitive and requires more than good writing—it demands strategy, funder alignment, and a deep understanding of what reviewers look for.

We bring proven techniques, research skills, and a track record of winning grants, which can significantly boost your chances of getting funded.

Save Time & Reduce Burden

Many small organizations operate with limited staff who already wear multiple hats. We take on the heavy lifting of researching opportunities, writing proposals, and managing deadlines—freeing your team to focus on programs, fundraising, and operations.

Flexible, Cost-Effective Support

Hiring a full-time grant writer isn’t always feasible. We offer flexible options—whether you need help with a single proposal, long-term grants strategy, or interim support—so you get expert help without committing to a full-time salary.
