Simplify the funding journey

I write highly fundable grant proposals for arts nonprofits so overburdened leaders can get back to running their organizations and impacting their communities.

How many nights and weekends have you spent working on proposals because there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to do that *plus* the work that got you into nonprofits to begin with?
If you’re anything like I was in my 13 years managing arts organizations, then it’s more than you’d like to admit.
We both know that nonprofits like yours don’t have a dollar (or a minute) to spare, so efficiently putting together grant proposals that are likely to be funded—while simultaneously setting you up for success on future applications—is key.
That’s where I come in.

LET ME HELP

Erin Tatum, owner of Nonprofit Nomad, is sitting at the table in her RV, working on a laptop and notebook. She is smiling directly at the camera, with white skin, straight light brown hair, and a coral colored shirt. Photo was taken by Dan Cannon. — Have you ever wondered what funders are thinking?

I may not be a mind reader, but I have been on the other side of the table, reviewing applications as a grant panelist.
Paired with my decade-long career in nonprofit management and over a hundred grants under my belt, I’m a triple-threat in the grant writing world, increasing your chances of getting funded.
