Fundraising
Dorcas Circle
$265,000 Raised | Program, Capital, & Operating
Dorcas Circle food bank and clothing pantry is was the first place that I ever wrote a grant for. In my time working with them, I have brought in funding from state grants, local government grants, and private foundations for a variety of projects. I helped them to develop their grant materials and refine their systems to better be able to tell their story to grantors that want to support their mission.
Spark the Change Colorado
$347,300 Raised | Program
I wrote and secured a $336,500 federal grant renewal for Spark and managed the implementation of the grant for the first year and a half of it. Additionally, I brought in funding from local governments and corporate donations to support program implementation outside of the federal grant scope.
Spanish Peaks Community Foundation
$32,000 Raised | Capital & Programming
I secured $30,000 in funding for SPCF to put towards their large capital campaign to restore the Historic Fox Theatre Walsenburg. I also applied for an secured an event sponsorship for $2,000 for them from a private foundation.
