cultural strategy & Grantmaking support

I help funders and organizations deepen community-centered practice by co-creating programs and strategies with the people most impacted. This approach moves beyond transactional grantmaking, builds trust, and supports stronger, more equitable organizational and sector ecosystems.

Drawing on my experience with a diverse range of community partnerships and grantmaking organizations—from state and local regranting organizations to national, public, and private institutions—I recognize the immense potential in this work. This consultancy is about creating a more equitable and resilient field by cultivating collaboration and learning, specifically by building peer networks that help organizations view grant funding as a sustainable investment to build upon. I also focus on bridging the gap between funders who genuinely seek to reach organizations closest to the problem, and the often-inaccessible systems that inadvertently block their access.
