How I Can Help

Over the past fifteen years I have provided short-term consulting services for a wide range of nonprofit, government, and community-based organizations, including:

• Grant proposal writing, program development, and application submission
• Grant portfolio strategy & evaluation
• External evaluation for state/federal grants
• Strategic planning, with a focus on fundraising & development planning
• Logic Model/Theory of Change development
• Internal evaluation infrastructure & metrics development
• Prospect & foundation research 

I use a variety of methodologies to gather and make sense of information in these projects, including document review, quantitative research, and qualitative methods (e.g. interviews, focus groups).
