Informed by my experiences in the grantmaking and development field, I bring a unique, problem-solving mindset in achieving your nonprofit’s goals. I know first-hand how funders assess and evaluate funding requests.

Helping Nonprofits Increase Their Impact Through Programs

THEORY OF CHANGE & LOGIC MODELS

Establishing clear goals for your nonprofit is important, but how does that translate into outcomes and impact? Whether it is for funding proposals or strategic planning purposes, I facilitate the process for developing theory of change and/or logic models that clearly delineates your goals into effective strategies and measurable outcomes, while leveraging existing resources.

IMPLEMENTATION WORK PLANS

A well designed work plan can help your nonprofit stay on track in meeting its goals, while not over-extending its resources. It can also be used as a mechanism to identify best practices and to address challenges. I specialize in developing implementation work plans for launching new programs and initiatives.

BUDGET DEVELOPMENT & ANALYSIS

Creating an accurate and realistic budget is an important part of managing your nonprofit’s resources. Understanding the story behind numbers, I develop budgets that reflect the full cost of implementing your nonprofit’s programs. I also provide feedback and recommendations on how to improve budgets for funding proposals.
