But if the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that the lines between professional and personal are blurred at best and that we are complex and multidimensional people—just like the people we serve. In fact, I believe we do each other a disservice by not bringing our full selves to everything we do. So when I launched my business and hit the road full-time with my husband and dog, I chucked that old way of thinking (and a whole lot of stuff) out the window. Nonprofit Nomad was built to be inclusive of both my nomadic lifestyle and my mission to equip busy arts nonprofits to get the resources they need to bring art to the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/889ceb1a-0f54-44a6-b8c8-2936eda6315a/_Erin-on-stage1_credit+Elizabeth+Leitzell+copy.jpg About - I know what happens in front of (and behind) the curtain I’ve spent over a dozen years learning the ins and outs of the arts nonprofit space, most recently serving as the Interim Executive Director of the Savannah Music Festival. Prior to that, I was the Managing Director and Director of Artist Relations at the same organization, with responsibilities during my tenure encompassing artistic, development, strategic planning, and cross-organizational project management. My experience also extends to the University space, where I was the General Manager of the University of Georgia Performing Arts Center (the school where I received my undergraduate and master’s degrees and marched in the Redcoat Marching Band). I’m process-oriented, timeline-driven, and have a bit of a love affair with systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/32e5558c-6f93-4ee2-b843-fd2b686166f8/GPC-Logo.png https://www.nonprofitnomad.com/services daily 0.75 2026-02-13 https://www.nonprofitnomad.com/home daily 1.0 2025-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/2eaa9fd9-b9a3-4f2c-852e-415a05e29249/Nonprofit+Nomad+%C2%AE+Social+Logo+-+800px.png HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/2eaa9fd9-b9a3-4f2c-852e-415a05e29249/Nonprofit+Nomad+%C2%AE+Social+Logo+-+800px.png HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/2eaa9fd9-b9a3-4f2c-852e-415a05e29249/Nonprofit+Nomad+%C2%AE+Social+Logo+-+800px.png HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/2eaa9fd9-b9a3-4f2c-852e-415a05e29249/Nonprofit+Nomad+%C2%AE+Social+Logo+-+800px.png HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/64ea8ac7-7417-490a-996b-5f1bccdf11c6/1.png HOME National Endowment for the Arts logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/a80cac06-0bbe-4f6a-aa8a-36cf2de521ff/11.png HOME City of Savannah, Georgia logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/a8b99f24-8183-4dbe-83b3-2dbdc26dd791/Copy+of+Copy+of+Unnamed+Design+%281%29.png HOME Georgia Council of the Arts logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/b891cfbf-e913-4da0-a996-99a6e9d86962/3.png HOME South Arts logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/91a038df-e08f-4a03-ba74-7bc6d8aef1bf/4.png HOME City of Austin, Texas logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/01d96a5a-27fb-425e-8abc-4981b6409b2a/5.png HOME Hearst Foundations logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/7c92674c-a236-45b4-956c-543dda3ab85d/6.png HOME Find Your Light logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/f40960d6-6841-4fdc-a458-d6f6f21fca5a/8.png HOME Austin Community Foundation logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/ccc536d5-7cd2-4efe-be30-4508f4e2d39d/9.png HOME Bank of America logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/a093b093-54a4-4452-b37f-4edc82ca4ce4/10.png HOME Fox Gives logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/54790bc1-41b3-4350-9ada-dbc36540dc4a/11.png HOME Applied Materials logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/b20b15b5-2ed2-4721-94a8-f40a8bbdbee6/12.png HOME Louisiana Office of Cultural Development logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/29c47a43-7881-48fa-80df-bce02a5cdfe2/13.png HOME PNC Foundation logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/92d377cd-95c4-482e-a285-2e50d627c2de/14.png HOME The Powell Foundation logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/6ea91c16-66f4-4b31-ae46-d843abf1d750/15.png HOME Texas Commission on the Arts logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/bd3119ba-3454-4e0d-b2e5-b26be465d652/unsplash-image-5d20kdvFCfA.jpg HOME - Life’s too short to apply for grants in your free time 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1254ae0deb7769586daf2/52078015-59c5-4470-8101-17a5b2963b78/DSC08266_websize.jpg HOME - 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-plus 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. https://www.nonprofitnomad.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-03-03 https://www.nonprofitnomad.com/faqs daily 0.75 2022-08-24 https://www.nonprofitnomad.com/equity daily 0.75 2021-12-30 https://www.nonprofitnomad.com/checklist daily 0.75 2025-10-22 https://www.nonprofitnomad.com/email daily 0.75 2023-09-13 https://www.nonprofitnomad.com/store daily 0.75 57658-10-04
