Funding and Fundraising

Community-based organizations offer some of the most compelling and innovative approaches and strategies to climate resilience, yet are some of the most under-funded. 90% of environmental funding goes to just 10% of the biggest organizations.

The way funders have been investing in marginalized- communities-led organizations has been deeply inequitable, often ineffective, and causing leaders of color, leaders with disabilities, and LGBTQ leaders to leave the sector at a time when they are desperately needed.” (Vuj, NonProfit Journal).

I offer services for two different audiences: grassroots organizations requesting fundraising support and private and public funders wanting strategies to support the work of grassroots organizations.

 

For Grassroots Organizations

Are you challenged to find funding for your start-up organization, despite doing incredible work? Are you working to raise funds to move from a volunteer-based nonprofit to one supported by paid staff, but not yet able hire a full or even part-time fundraiser? Please contact me to learn more about how I can support your organization or project in securing the financial abundance.

My portfolio includes:

  • Grant writing to a variety of private foundations and public agencies that has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars;
  • Successful crowd funding campaigns
  • In-person fundraising events to raise funds for grassroots organizations

Please set up a free consulting call if you are interested in learning more about how I can best be of support. I can work either by the hour or by project.
