About Your Grant Reviewer

Hi, I'm Dr. Ericka

Your Grant Reviewer

 After 20 years in nonprofit management, raising more than $34 million in donations and grants, and reviewing fore more than a dozen grant programs, I get to use that experience to help you. 

Why a grant review?

 

In today's competitive landscape, successfully obtaining grants is crucial for organizations and individuals alike. However, the grant application process can be complex and time-consuming, often requiring a deep understanding of grant guidelines, meticulous attention to detail, and strategic planning.

The primary reason for a grant review is my ability to provide an objective and critical assessment of your proposal. Having worked on hundreds of grants, I have a keen eye for identifying areas that may weaken your application or require further development. I can provide valuable feedback and suggestions to improve your project's alignment with the funder's priorities, ensuring your proposal stands out among the competition.
