Laurel M.

I help nonprofits and mission-driven organizations in health and human services, aging, disability, and behavioral health secure funding and build the program infrastructure to use it well. Everything I deliver is handcrafted — built from scratch for your organization's specific situation, funders, and regulatory context. What I do: ✓ Grant writing and administration — 59 grants written, $2.1M raised, with a career success rate of 53% against the industry standard of 10-30%. Recent wins include a $212K Cabrini Health Foundation award and a $170K CDBG award. ✓ Provider vendorization and new lines of business — Applications and program designs for provider services in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Maryland, including California Regional Centers. ✓ Program design and budgeting — Innovative programs grounded in best practices, with realistic budgets built to survive funder scrutiny. ✓ Reporting and compliance — Full program management systems spanning deadlines, reporting, and compliance across multiple funding streams. ✓ Policy and technical writing — 22 published policy reports for state and local clients, including due diligence reports, white papers, and funder accountability reports. I bring over 27 years in public policy and nonprofit consulting, serving U.S.-based clients across all time zones.
