Grant Writing

Book a Consultation

Overview

I help transform your ideas into fundable, compelling, and values-driven grant proposals. From concept to submission, I bring deep experience in securing funding across research, non-profit, and public health sectors. My approach blends strategic storytelling, ethical framing, and data-informed clarity to ensure your proposal resonates with both funders and communities.

​

With over a decade of experience leading and supporting successful Tri-Council (CIHR, SSHRC), federal (WAGE, PHAC, HC, Public Safety Canada, and more), and community-level grants, I understand how to position your project for impact — whether you’re applying for an early-stage pilot or a multi-year initiative.
