Professional Profiles
“I used to say I’m a grant writer, but now I describe that process as program development facilitation, and typically that does result in the production of a grant application or proposal, but without that facilitation piece, it doesn’t work: you can’t just be an editor.” -Paul Oostenbrug, Grant Professional Certified (GPC)
"I help organizations develop or enhance their health and social service programs, acting as a facilitator, proposal writer, or grant writer. I also conduct small evaluations and assist clients with organizational positioning. I am at my best when I work on projects that involve complex RFP requirements and multiple collaborators. I help organizations be more effective at getting their marketing messages across. "
"I also assist with program development, proposal and grant writing, and evaluations. My clients are generally health care and social service organizations. I help establish new grant writing programs, developing template grant documents, researching funders, and drafting applications."
