Susan Gies Conley Consulting

You don't have to do it all yourself. By fully defining your funding needs, I will create a structure to search for and qualify funding partners that will be excited to support your work. Complex applications or eloquently crafted letters of request all flow from your purpose. I'll demonstrate to the funding partner how you can carry out their intention. Let me take the weight of the details off your shoulders by writing and helping you organize the pieces of your proposal. I can help you to create a sensible plan to collect outcomes data and meet reporting requirements.
