Her comprehensive approach spans the full spectrum of funding sources, from private foundations and corporate giving programs to federal opportunities, with a proven ability to navigate complex application processes for agencies like the National Endowment for the Humanities, Appalachian Regional Commission, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and Environmental Protection Agency. Over six years, she has demonstrated her specialized grant writing skills by helping dozens of Kentucky and Indiana nonprofits secure over $20 million in funding through strategic narrative development, meticulous compliance management, and proactive identification of new funding opportunities.
With over a decade of experience in nonprofit management, Sarah has worn many hats and honed a versatile skill set across fund development, grant writing, event planning, communications, succession planning, and strategic planning. Her expertise empowers nonprofits to fulfill their missions consistently, quarter after quarter. Holding a Master’s in Urban Planning and Public Administration from the University of Louisville, Sarah is deeply committed to equitable community development and excels in building strategic partnerships and narratives that drive impactful change.
In 2019, she founded her own consulting business, collaborating with nonprofits and providing grant writing services across sectors such as environmental, workforce development, arts and culture, and health and human services. Since then, Sarah has helped her clients secure over $6 million in grant funding. Her extensive experience spans corporate philanthropy, foundation giving, and state and federal grants, with a deep understanding of Louisville and Kentucky’s state-wide philanthropic landscape.
