Amy's grant writing experience began in 2013 by helping a nonprofit in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with a grant from a community foundation. The $78,000 grant was awarded to help the organization purchase equipment to expand their program and community impact. Since then, Amy has successfully written grants of various sizes for different types of funders with an almost 80% award rate. Each funding organization has unique requirements, deadlines, preferences, etc., which can be confusing. Amy will bring her understanding of these complexities together with her ability to quickly deep dive into your organization needs and vision to improve the likelihood of being awarded grants to support your organization's mission.
