Crafted fundraising & storytelling
to bring your work or project to life.
About Me
I'm Jennifer, a writer with more than 15 years of nonprofit fundraising and leadership experience. Since earning an MFA in Creative Writing, I've spent my career helping organizations create the written materials and share mission-related stories to raise funds and pursue their missions.
I have worked with national and local nonprofits, Community Action Agencies, membership and advocacy organizations, food co-ops, and coalitions to help define goals and work plans, draft funding proposals, write issue-based stories to shift the dominant narrative, describe an issue and its potential solutions, create fundraising and marketing plans, and raise the resources needed to get the work done.
How I Can Help You
Nonprofit Fundraising: Draft and execute direct mail and individual fundraising campaigns.
​
Grant Writing: Create a full program description, detailed goals and work plan, and organizational narrative in order to submit a single or multiple grant applications and bring a program to life.
​
Project-based Fundraising: Research funding options and devise and implement a plan to raise the budget through varied strategies.
​
Organizational Storytelling: Identifying and creating newsletter and blog stories about your clients, communities, or members to broaden your reach and deepen your community connection.
​
Issue-based Organizing: Drafting and molding issue summaries and communication pieces, crafting legislative outreach, sharing stories to highlight how the issue impacts the community.
​
Fundraising Systems: Finding and implementing the right database and software takes time and a particular skillset. I can help you get the right pieces in place and learn how to use them.
