I provide consulting services for nonprofits in the arts and culture space, helping turn creative ambitions into practical, fundable plans. Services include grant research and proposal development, program design, budgeting, and planning for organizational growth and expanded facilities. I began professional life as a Certified Public Accountant, and transitioned to financial consulting services. I then served as Treasurer for several nonprofit organizations, and developed my skills while guiding those nonprofits to success in financial terms and non-financial alike. I believe that Arts & Culture nonprofits are among the least supported organizations, but that they are just as important in their ability to nourish the spirit.
