Advocacy & Storytelling Training

Grant Writing & Revenue Strategy

Smart strategy + the right words to secure funding from local, corporate, and foundation partners.

You don’t need another bloated strategy doc. You need a plan you’ll actually use.

Let’s make something that sticks.

E.J. was thoughtful about who to bring into the press conversations and how to frame the narrative. He made sure I had the right background for interviews and handled prep in a way that respected my time, strengthened the message, and made sure the right messages were front and center.

E.J. is a forward-thinking strategic thinker, who leads with his heart, listens well, and knows how to build trust. Whether in development, project management, or community partnerships, EJ is an asset to any charity or organization, and I strongly recommend him.
