I prefer to work on a monthly retainer basis, which makes record-keeping easier for everyone. The minimum retainer is $1,000/month. However, my portfolio can fluctuate, so there could be room for a smaller retainer or a one-time project. Don’t hesitate to reach out.

For a retainer, you get peace of mind and delivery of relevant projects–whether it’s LOIs, grants, a calendar, or other products. A retainer of $1,000 means approximately 10-12 grants per year submitted.

I’m an experienced writer with a background in administration and writing in education and nonprofits–so I understand strategy, programs, data, structures, and problem-solving. I’m adept at wrangling information, whether for a grant proposal, an annual appeal letter, newsletters, or data analysis for decision-making. I’m a strong and reliable communicator who is quick at onboarding and learning your institutional memory. I’ll save you time and probably money!
