Your Mission Deserves to Be Funded.

Practical fundraising strategy and grant expertise to help nonprofits turn compelling missions into funded realities.

Your Mission Is Powerful. Your Funding Strategy Should Be, Too.

Nonprofits do important work, but building a reliable funding base takes more than a compelling mission. It requires a clear strategy, the right funding opportunities, strong relationships, and systems that support long-term growth.

The Greater Good Consulting Group helps nonprofits bring those pieces together so they can spend less time guessing what comes next and more time advancing the work that matters.

Small nonprofits shouldn’t have to choose between doing their mission and figuring out how to fund it.

That's where I come in.

I'm a nonprofit fundraising strategist, grant writer, consultant and coach who helps small and midsized nonprofits be fundraising ready and build the systems, strategies and confidence they need to raise money sustainably.

Through The Greater Good Consulting Group, I work with organizations on:
• Grant readiness and grant writing
• Donor cultivation and development
• Board fundraising support
• Strategic planning
• Executive coaching
• Development plans for organizations without a full-time development department

I've worked with nonprofits across arts and culture, education, child and family advocacy, historic preservation, technology and community development.

My approach is practical: clarify the story, identify the right funding opportunities, strengthen the relationships and teach the organization how to keep doing it.

My goal isn't simply to help a nonprofit win one grant. Its to help build the capacity to keep raising money.

I'm also developing a grant-writing training and coaching program designed to help nonprofit professionals move from I know we need grants to having a repeatable, strategic grant-development process.

If you're a nonprofit leader who needs a stronger funding strategy—or you’re ready to become more confident and strategic about grant writing—Id love to connect.
