The Funding Strategist Newsletter

The Funding Strategist is a monthly newsletter built around a critical question: What happens when grant leaders evolve into funding strategists?

A funding strategist does more than manage proposals or compliance. They read shifts in the funding landscape, design funding ecosystems that connect grants, philanthropy, partnerships, and new revenue streams, and advise leadership on revenue resilience strategies to navigate uncertainty ahead.

The newsletter is written for leaders who see the need to step into strategy. Each edition offers practical insights to help institutions turn bold ideas into sustainable funding momentum.
