Grant Portfolio

Hope Grants creates multi-year proposals and budgets that spark innovation, drive meaningful social impact, and secure coveted funding streams.

$2,580,526 - Federal Funding - Renewed Annually

The Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program is a highly competitive federal grant that requires deep regional coordination, youth partnership, and a clear plan for measurable system change. I led the development of the $2.58 million annual, renewable proposal by aligning lived-experience youth voice, coordinated entry data, and cross-sector stakeholder commitments into a unified strategy rooted in equity and long-term housing stability. This award secured sustained federal investment and strengthened the region’s capacity to move from fragmented services to coordinated systems transformation.

$715,000 - Private Foundation - Data Infrastructure Project

This three-year investment was awarded at 100% to fundamentally shift how the organization collects, integrates, and uses data to measure lasting impact. I architected a comprehensive $715,000 strategy that aligned systems infrastructure, organizational governance, and cross-program outcome measurement into a phased roadmap designed for long-term adoption and sustainability. This award positions the organization to measure not just outputs, but generational shifts in housing security, economic mobility, and family wellness.

$525,000 – Multi-Year - Unrestricted Operating Support

What began as a one-year $100,000 grant evolved into a three-year, $525,000 institutional commitment through intentional relationship building and disciplined stewardship. I made the case for expanded investment by pairing rigorous housing stability data with grounded storytelling, while aligning the organization’s growth trajectory with the foundation’s long-term priorities and desire for stable, high-performing partners. This expansion reflects trust earned through transparency, consistency, and a shared commitment to sustained community impact.

$50,000 – City Funding – Capacity Building Project

This municipal grant was awarded to strengthen neighborhood stability and prevent displacement in a historically marginalized corridor. I structured a comprehensive proposal that positioned lighting upgrades, cultural mural installations, streetscape landscaping, and interior improvements as an integrated strategy for safety, visibility, and long-term community preservation. This award secured public investment in infrastructure that protects cultural identity while reinforcing economic resilience and neighborhood vitality.
