I developed several comprehensive grant applications for LifeCare Alliance, a nonprofit organization with over 125 years of service to central Ohio communities. The following grant sought funding to expand Project OpenHand-Columbus (POHC), a program that provides meals, grocery deliveries, and housing support to individuals living with HIV/AIDS .The application highlighted the organization’s legacy, the program’s measurable impact—including over 37,000 meals and $25,000 in housing aid—and the launch of a monthly grocery delivery service tailored to clients’ dietary needs. Additionally, the grant showcased LifeCare Alliance’s broader accomplishments, including its standing as one of the largest Meals-on-Wheels providers in the nation and its innovative revenue-generating social enterprises such as L.A. Catering and L.A. Wellness Works.

This project reflects my ability to blend strategic storytelling with data-driven impact to help nonprofits secure critical funding for essential programs.
