From a promising idea to a project that moves forward.
Organizations often have important goals and good ideas, but turning them into action takes time, planning, coordination, and resources. Sometimes the challenge is figuring out where to start. Sometimes it’s developing a strong grant proposal. And sometimes the plan is already in place, but the project needs someone to help keep the work moving.
I work with organizations, professional associations, and nonprofits to develop projects, pursue funding, and manage the work needed to bring initiatives to life.
My background in psychology, clinical practice, organizational leadership, and behavioral health policy brings both a practical understanding of how organizations operate and a systems perspective on the challenges they are trying to address.
How I can help
Project Development & Strategy
You may have an idea, a broad goal, or a problem that needs a thoughtful response. I can help you clarify what you want to accomplish and develop a practical plan for getting there.
This work may include:
- Defining project goals, priorities, and intended outcomes
- Developing project concepts and implementation plans
- Identifying key partners, stakeholders, and resources
- Breaking complex initiatives into manageable steps
- Connecting project goals with potential funding opportunities
Grant Strategy & Writing
A strong grant proposal starts well before the writing. It requires a clear understanding of the problem, a project that responds to that need, and a plan for how the work will be carried out.
I can support organizations in developing grant ideas and preparing proposals, including:
- Exploring funding opportunities and aligning them with organizational goals
- Shaping project concepts and defining goals and outcomes
- Developing proposal narratives and supporting materials
- Connecting the proposed work to identified needs and intended impact
- Planning for implementation and the practical requirements of carrying out the project
The scope can range from support with a specific proposal to helping an organization think through a broader funding strategy.
Project Management & Implementation
Securing funding or developing a plan is only part of the work. Projects also need coordination, follow-through, and attention to the details that keep things moving.
I can help organizations organize and advance projects through work such as:
- Developing work plans, timelines, and deliverables
- Coordinating stakeholders and project partners
- Tracking progress and identifying barriers
- Supporting communication and follow-through
- Helping translate plans into concrete next steps
Engagements can be tailored to a defined project or provide ongoing support during a period when additional capacity is needed.
