grant writing & reporting

Your work deserves — and needs — funding. I can help you tell the complete story so funders will understand your work and want to fund it. For those larger grants that may change your organization’s trajectory, I work to engage relevant stakeholders, a process I find both creates buy-in and enthusiasm and makes for a stronger proposal.

I’ve helped nonprofits secure millions in private and public funding, from local, regional, and national funders. Because I’ve worked as a consultant, an in-house grant writer, and a development director, I understand how to work with you to make the grant writing process streamlined and successful.

What People Are Saying

Shannon has worked with our organization for several years and helped to not only write and review grants but to build out our boilerplate and programmatic language templates. From quick reports to large government grants, her ability to jump in and manage any project with poise is a welcomed calmness to the otherwise chaotic world of grants. On more than one occasion, when a deadline sneaked up, Shannon’s time management and quick writing skills saved the day. Her experience in grant writing and working in fundraising gives her the ability to think through funder expectations and to provide guidance and partnership in crafting successful grants.
