You have a vital mission and great programs. In so many ways, you are making good progress. What more do you need to convince foundations to support your efforts in a bigger way right now?

A carefully crafted grant application that aligns with their vision and mission!

In this dynamic hour, Laura Harris and Paulette Lynch share the right details to make your request stand out!

As a previous nonprofit director, Laura experienced first-hand the overwhelming difficulties of the grant writing process, so she developed a proven strategy to develop a steady flow of high-value grant funding. For the past ten years, she has helped her clients build their success rates to 65% and above (vs. the industry average of 10-30%) – resulting in many millions of dollars in grant awards for our Monterey County community. Laura’s approach is teaching and guiding others through the process, so you can further increase your capacity to raise additional funds.

She served as Executive Director of the Arts Council for Monterey County from 2004 to 2019 where she dramatically increased and expanded revenue, services, partnerships, and community engagement. She has received many accolades including Outstanding Woman of Monterey County (2015) and a citation by Congressman Jimmy Panetta for “providing unifying leadership in the creative sector on the central coast of California.” (Congressional Record, 2019).
