FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long have you been writing grants?

I started writing grants in the summer of 2018, working with an independent charter school in Utah.

What are your primary areas of expertise?

I have worked with charter schools for over 20 years, as a founding parent, teacher, director, and board member. I have written over 75 foundation grants for charter schools. I have also developed charter school applications, training materials, and several major/federal grants.

I served as a Peer Reviewer for CSP Grants (US Dept of Ed, 2018, 2019, 2022 & 2023) and CCSP Grants (Colorado Dept of Ed, 2020 & 2021), where I learned how CSP grants are evaluated and scored. I also reviewed the 2022 Education Innovation & Research (EIR) Grant and 2022 Full Service Community Schools (FSCS) Grant.

What is your understanding of school funding and nonprofit organizations?

I have worked in charter schools since 2000, when I was a founding parent at a charter school in Colorado. I joined the staff as a teacher, and then moved on to teach at several other charter schools. I completed a Master's degree in Educational Leadership with an emphasis in Charter School Leadership in 2009, and then I served as a Charter School Director for eight years. I am very familiar with charter school finances and best practices for grants management.

In addition, I have spent the past three years working directly with small nonprofit organizations to develop programs and write grant proposals.

What experience do you have working with grants for schools and nonprofits?

I have written more than 75 foundation grants for charter schools and nonprofits in seven different states. I enjoy working with education nonprofits that support students, such as those that provide STEM programming and after-school tutoring programs. I have also written a CSP grant for a new charter school in 2023.

What is your process like?

Grant writing is a team process. We will work together to be sure your organization is grant-ready, which means you are in the best possible position to win the grants we apply for. This includes ensuring all documentation is ready, you have clear and compelling statements to describe your work, and we select the right grants.

Everything is driven by your goals and priorities. I'll ask you to share basic documents with me, such as your IRS 501(c)(3) letter, recent budget, and charter or strategic plan goals. Together, we identify grants that are appropriate to your goals. With your approval, I begin to draft the grant proposal(s). I'll communicate often early in the process so that we can be sure the work is meeting your expectations. I'll ask for your input on grant goals and expected outcomes, and request any additional information required for the grant. You will have a chance to review the final draft before it is submitted. If I am writing multiple grants for your school, I will track submissions and expected notification dates.

What would you expect from me or my staff?

You'll need to provide documents and information as needed. When a draft is submitted, I'll ask you to read it attentively and provide feedback so I can be sure to meet your expectations. If you have any questions throughout the process, please let me know.

What is your availability?

My schedule is flexible but I do have ongoing commitments to work around. I can usually produce a foundation grant within two weeks. Major grants or federal grants require advance notice and may take six weeks to complete.
