About Granting Hope
Every nonprofit begins with a vision.
More than 20 years ago, I literally went from house to house, sitting at kitchen tables with passionate individuals who wanted to make a difference in their communities. Together, we turned their vision into reality by forming nonprofit corporations and guiding them through the process of obtaining 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
Over the years, I realized that starting a nonprofit is only the beginning. The real challenge is building a strong, sustainable organization that can secure funding, remain compliant, and create lasting impact. That realization inspired me to found Granting Hope.
I chose the name Granting Hope because I believe nonprofit organizations grant hope to others within their communities through the work they do. Our mission is to help nonprofit leaders build strong, sustainable organizations that continue bringing hope and creating lasting impact for the people they serve.
Today, Granting Hope has helped hundreds of nonprofit founders turn their vision into reality and thousands obtain grant education, coaching and growth strategies. As an MBA graduate, PhD Candidate specializing in nonprofit innovation and sustainability, business professor, author, and nonprofit consultant, my greatest passion is helping nonprofit leaders build organizations that change lives and strengthen communities.
We look forward to being part of your nonprofit journey.
