Grant and Proposal Writing
I have experience writing successful federal grants for educational programs, such as Carl Perkins Vocational Education, US Department of Education (ED), and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE).
I am particularly interested in writing grants to support early childhood, early language and literacy, family engagement, and American Indian programs. I've led or participated with grant writing teams for successfully executed and awarded national and federal programming, including the ED funded Demonstration Grants for Indian Children, Native Youth Community Project grants, Statewide Family Engagement Center grants, and the Family and Child Education project (BIE funded).
I have worked collaboratively with colleagues to create top-notch funding proposals for local entities such as Jefferson County (KY) Public Schools, Broward Co (FL) Public Schools, and nationally for the YMCA-USA, as well as others.
I can lead the grant writing process with your school team, collaborate with you to write parts of the proposal, or research and write the entire proposal with input from your team.
