Grant Writing

With over 15 years of experience as a grant writer as well as experience managing a grant making program, Kelley O'Brien understands what makes grant proposals strong: Strong grant proposals are well written. Strong grant proposals have clear program plans. And strong proposals follow directions.  

Communications & Copyediting

Whether you seek to develop a case for support for your fundraising campaign, an annual report highlighting your organization's achievements over the past year, or other targeted communications, Kelley O'Brien can help you craft targeted, concise communications that meet your needs.

If you've already developed your targeted communications and grant proposals but need help ensuring that every serial comma is in place (or not) or cutting the proposal down from five pages to three pages, Kelley can copyedit your work on tight timelines.
