services

I’m here to assist through the entire grant process, and that looks different for every organization. You will get tailored services for your unique needs, which may include any of the following:


 

Project Management

Special projects or new programs require ongoing attention. I will guide the process to oversee multi-channel campaigns, define project tasks, and track deliverables.


Grant Funding Research

Finding potential funders and reviewing requests for proposals takes time. I’ll do the grunt work and find warm leads that are just right for your organization.


Grant Writing

I write compelling letters of intent and grant applications. We can discuss whether you need me to write the entire request, including budgets, or just work on certain sections, like improving your narrative.


Draft Review & Editing

You’ve written the grant but you’re not sure it’s enough or you just need a second set of eyes. I’ll use my editorial expertise to polish your proposal.


Reporting

Need reports for a grant you’ve received or one we’ve written together? Got a report due on short notice? Reach out to me and we’ll get it done in time.

Dr. Rick Schell, University of Central Florida Professor & Orlando Shakes Board Member

Working with Lori as a project manager was a delight. She was efficient, timely, responsible, and always in good humor. I especially appreciated how she anticipated the needs of our job. It was a huge asset to know that I could trust her to do the right thing at the right time. I will without doubt call on Lori again when I need professional assistance.


melissa braillard, Former garden theatre director of patron development

Lori is a truly terrific grant writer. She impresses me with her organization, attention to detail, strong storytelling skills, and genuine interest and curiosity regarding each project she approaches. She continues to be a great asset to the Garden Theatre through both reports and successful, new applications.


Elizabeth (Betsy) Gwinn, Bach Festival Society Executive Director

I really enjoyed working with Lori. She was thorough, prompt, and thoughtful. Her knowledge of the State grant was excellent, and I think we submitted our best-yet DOS application for 2021-2022.
