FUNDRAISING SERVICES
Funding starts with the right words.
You know your work matters. Writing about it in a way that moves funders — that’s a different skill entirely, and it doesn’t have to be yours. I’ve spent years helping nonprofits find the words that open doors. Tell me about your mission, and I’ll take it from there.
Fundraising & Grant Services I offer
Proposal Writing— Persuasive proposals tailored for foundations, corporations, and government agencies
Grant Research — Identifying potential funding opportunities that align with your mission and capacity
Reporting— Well-crafted reports that communicate results and help foster long-term relationships
Appeals & Communications — Donor-focused letters and messaging to support annual giving and campaigns
Strategy & Consultation — Support with calendars, systems, and messaging to strengthen your grants program
How I Work
Grant writing is part art, part strategy, and part relationship. I take the time to understand your organization — not just the project you need funded, but your broader goals, your funding history, and where you want to go. That bigger picture is what makes a proposal land. I also bring more than grants. Annual appeals, membership campaigns, event letters, donor communications — I can help with the full range of development writing so our voice stays consistent across everything you send out.
And I show up as more than a writer. I genuinely care about mission — the work nonprofits do matters to me — and I bring relationships with funders and community partners that sometimes open doors before a proposal is even submitted.

“Nina elevated our work with her clarity and insight. She improved our grant language, helped us understand each funder’s priorities, and offered strategic suggestions for our applications, annual appeal, website, newsletter, and overall communications. She is thoughtful, patient, and a pleasure to work with.”
