Grant Writing Guru | Startup Fundraising | Business & Nonprofit Grants

I help nonprofits, startups, small businesses, SMEs, and for-profit companies secure funding through strategic grant writing, startup fundraising, grant research, and proposal development. Over the past three years, clients I have supported worldwide have collectively been awarded more than $30 million in grant funding from private foundations, corporate giving programs, federal agencies, and international funders. My work combines grant writing expertise with broader fundraising strategy, which means I do more than just write applications. I help clients identify the right opportunities and investors, build a stronger funding pipeline, sharpen their positioning, and submit competitive proposals that align with funder priorities. I support clients with: 1. Grant writing and fundraising strategy for startups and companies: Grant funding, PRI, and R&D Tax Credit strategy, startup fundraising support, business grant applications, innovation funding, seed stage funding research, and capital strategy for founders, startups, and growth stage companies. 2. Nonprofit grant writing and institutional fundraising: Private foundation grants, corporate foundation grants, family foundations, community foundations, CSR funding, philanthropic partnerships, and fundraising strategy for nonprofit organizations. 3. Federal and agency grants: Long experience with NIH, NSF, SBIR, STTR, DOE, HHS, DOD, CDC, USDA, HUD, DOJ, EPA, U.S. Department of Education, and other public funding programs. 4. International funding and development opportunities: Support for clients pursuing funding through Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, UN agencies, multilateral institutions, and international development programs. 5. Grant research and funding prospecting: Tailored grant databases, prospect research, funder vetting, eligibility screening, pipeline development, and strategic funding calendars. 6. Proposal development and grants management support: Full proposal writing, editing, narrative development, application structuring, budget coordination, compliance review, attachments support, and submission readiness. I have worked with clients across the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and emerging markets in Africa and Asia. My sector experience includes technology, healthcare, healthtech, biotech, AI, education, climate, sustainability, community development, workforce development, housing, arts and culture, social impact, and rural development. Whether you need a grant writer, fundraising consultant, startup funding strategist, or long-term partner to build a reliable funding pipeline, I can help you create a great path to funding. Let’s build a stronger funding strategy for your startup, business, or nonprofit.
