Grants that Go the Distance LLC

Experience

I am one of four in Flagstaff (five in northern Arizona and 22 statewide) who is “Grant Professional Certified” (the only National Commission for Certifying Agencies-accredited credential for the grants profession!) by the accredited Grant Professionals Certification Institute. With over 25 years of grant writing experience in northern Arizona, I launched Grants that Go the Distance LLC to help people bring their dreams to fruition with grant funding. I serve on the Board of Directors for the international Grant Professionals Association.
