Contract Grant Writing and Consulting
I translate the skills I have gained as a writer, editor, and educator to successfully advocate for nonprofit organizations. I write concisely and persuasively and am attentive to length and deadline requirements. Years of writing and teaching have helped me to become an efficient listener and communicator. Currently I write grants for nonprofit organizations supporting LGBTQIA+ communities and gender equity in New Mexico. I am taking new clients and would be happy to speak with you.
