Yvan T.

Two things stop great organizations and talented students from reaching their potential: unfunded missions and missed admissions opportunities. I fix both. I'm Yvan, a bilingual (English/French) Grant Writer, Fundraising Strategist, and College Admissions Consultant with 7+ years of experience across the US, Canada, UK, and Africa. Over the past two and a half years alone, I've helped over a dozen organizations worldwide secure over $2,500,000 in grant funding; 70% of them US, Canada, or UK-based nonprofits. In parallel, I've guided students to admission at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, Oxford, and Cambridge. I don't just write. I position, whether that's your nonprofit for its next grant cycle or your student for their dream school. WHAT CLIENTS SAY "Yvan was professional and took time to thoroughly understand our project.
