Most nonprofit teams know what to say. They just don’t have the time or the distance from the work to say it well.
I write the appeals, proposals, and donor communications your team is too stretched to finish, and I do it in a voice that reads like it came from inside your organization. The end product is ready to use, audited for tone, and built around the donor you’re actually trying to reach.
The writing is the visible part. Underneath it sits nine years of senior development experience, a CFRE credential, and a working knowledge of what actually moves donors in hospice, recovery, and human-services nonprofits.
What I Write
Where my writing goes.
Grant proposals and research.
Foundation and corporate proposals, LOIs, and prospect research that surface the right funders for your mission.
Cases for support.
The foundational document your team uses across major gifts, board recruitment, and campaigns. Written once, used everywhere.
Annual and year-end appeals.
Direct mail and digital appeals built around a specific donor decision, with clear asks and language that earns a response.
Major gift proposals.
Tailored proposals for principal and major donors, written to support a specific ask at a specific level.
Donor communications.
Thank-you letters, impact reports, newsletters, and stewardship touches that keep donors close between asks.
Campaign messaging.
Core narrative, key messages, and donor-facing language for capital, endowment, and comprehensive campaigns.
What To Expect
What sets my work apart.
01Writing that sounds like your organization.
I spend the time up front to understand how your leadership talks, how your donors think, and how your mission lives day to day. The copy reads like someone on staff wrote it on their best day.
02Senior judgment, not just words on a page.
I’ve held Director of Development and Vice President of Philanthropy roles. When something in the strategy is off, I’ll say so before I start writing, because a strong sentence can’t fix a weak ask.
03Real deadlines, kept.
Grant cycles and year-end calendars don’t move. We agree on dates at the start, and I deliver on them.
04Finished work, ready to send.
Drafts come polished, formatted, and revised through your feedback. Your team should be approving, not rewriting.
Who This Is For
- Executive directors who need a specific piece written well and on time.
- Small shops where the writing is the part that keeps getting pushed.
- Teams preparing for a campaign or year-end push that has to land.
