Marcia L.

I am a Nonprofit Development Specialist with a strong focus on grant writing, proposal development, and public engagement for small and community-based nonprofits. I help organizations clearly articulate their mission, programs, and impact in ways that align with funder priorities and public audiences. My experience includes grant research and writing, LOIs, program narratives, budgets, reports, and proposals, as well as drafting clear, professional communications for stakeholders, partners, and the public. With a background in public administration and community development, I understand how nonprofits operate with limited capacity and the need for practical, well-organized deliverables. I bring over 20 years of experience working in and alongside local government, parks and recreation, higher education, and nonprofit organizations, giving me insight into public funding, compliance, and community engagement strategies. Clients value my ability to: Translate complex programs into fundable, concise proposals Meet deadlines and follow funder guidelines closely Provide reliable, easy-to-work-with support for small teams If you need grant writing or proposal support that is clear, strategic, and tailored to small nonprofits, I’m happy to help.
