We’re so lucky to have even more grant greatness. Leah brings over 10 years’ experience in all things grants: research, proposal and application preparation, submission, administration, compliance, reporting, and funder relations.
Before joining Get Fully Funded in 2017, Leah was the Director of Operations for a volunteer resource agency (Hands on Nashville). There, she successfully secured and managed $600,000 annually in foundation, corporate and government grants to support a variety of key programs. She also managed the agency’s human resources.
Leah’s focus is about generating BIG money for nonprofits to reach their goals and create a positive impact in their communities. She saw this firsthand as Director of Research and Grants at Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville, where she helped fund the construction of 40 new homes per year. On average, she secured no less than $750,000 in grants annually.
Leah’s a proud native of Detroit, MI, and spends her spare time on fun road trip adventures, finding unusual places and sites to visit.
