Grant Funding, Evaluation and Impact

Bio

With 20 years of working in the charity sector, I support organisations to strengthen programming for impact, design successful funding applications and refine their strategies. My extensive experience assessing applications and managing grant portfolios for a grant giving foundation gives me a unique perspective - I understand what makes an application stand out to funders, and how to align projects with both impact and donor priorities. Alongside this, I’m a specialist in monitoring, evaluation and learning, with a strong track record of working across academic, charity and policy spaces. I help organisations build meaningful MEL frameworks that drive learning, accountability and strategic growth. Whether you're developing a funding proposal or embedding evaluation into your programme design, I offer practical, high-level support that’s rooted in experience and results.
