Grant Writing

I am a very effective grant writer. I have over 90% success rate in proposal submission and I raised over $1 million in both Fiscal Years 2007 and 2008. This amount represented over one-fifth of the total organization budget. It is important to note that SeaWeb did not have a development department or staff.

Partial list of organizations that funded proposals I wrote:

• The American Association for the Advancement of Science
• AVINA
• Disney Family Foundation
• Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
• Keith Campbell Foundation
• David and Lucile Packard Foundation—Marine Fisheries Program
• David and Lucile Packard Foundation—Western Pacific Program
• John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
• National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis
• National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
• National Marine Sanctuary Foundation
• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
• Tiffany & Co.
