Devon R.
Expert Grant Writer and Fundraiser
I have written thousands of proposals, grants, and investor-focused business plans for 300+ organizations over a 17-year career in development. An American living abroad in South America, I love to write and work for positive social change all over the globe. I have an MA in Environment and Natural Resources and International Studies as well as BAs in English and Political Science, am academically published, and have diverse experience in dozens of different fields. My favorite projects are holistic by design, cross-cutting in innovative ways to achieve sustainability across multi-disciplinary fields. My specialties are in climate resilience, ecology, agriculture, entrepreneurship, women, indigenous rights, youth development and education. I have worked in big tech, AI, health, and energy among other areas as well. I write content and appeals along with more technical proposals and have worked on every continent (save Antarctica!).
