writer and analyst for progressive foundations and not-for-profits

About

I bring decades of experience as a program officer for, and developer of, federal and private foundation grant programs; as an organizational development specialist; and as a writer, analyst, and editor for progressive national and local foundations and nonprofits. After earlier career incarnations that included lengthy tenures at the National Endowment for the Humanities and the national Community Training and Assistance Center, I now take on selected projects for progressive foundations and not-for-profits.
