Let Me Introduce Myself
I’m Laura Green.
I got my start working in nonprofits as a volunteer candy striper at my local hospital, and I believe in the value of volunteerism. People often ask me why I’m a grant writer because if you’ve ever put a grant proposal together you know it’s tedious and usually takes more time than you anticipate. Well, I don’t know why I love what I do, but I do. It even baffles me. I was the executive director of a nonprofit for several years before starting my business, and I have years of experience in the trenches with my nonprofit colleagues.
As a nonprofit, you do what it takes to advance your mission, and that means working A LOT.
Let me take the grant writing burden off your hands. Together, we will establish a strategic grant writing program.
I love my job!

“Ovation Funding Solutions is great to work with! Laura was a huge help in teaching us how to write about what we do in meaningful ways, and how to present a professional, attractive package to potential funders. With her kind and patient help, we won several large foundation and statewide grants for our nonprofit.”

“Let me tell you about Laura, her agency has consistently strived to understand our mission and innovatively procure funds that at times appeared beyond our reach.
Laura has worked patiently alongside our team to fill gaps that come along with being a young nonprofit. She thrives in the relationship arena and her technical skill is above par.
If you are a young or seasoned nonprofit in search of the “perfect fit”, consider Ovation Funding Solutions!”

“Laura helped our small non-profit set the groundwork for grant writing success. She prepared us to be “grant-ready” before even starting the grant writing process. She did research to help us find grants that match our mission and then did the entire application process with our board.
Laura is thorough, dependable, and very efficient with her billable time. She has played a significant role in helping our non-profit set large goals and realize our potential. I highly recommend partnering with Laura- she understands non-profit work from personal experience and has expertise in grant writing that will surpass your expectations.

“Securing grant funding for a nonprofit can be a daunting and overwhelming task. I am so thankful to be able to turn to Laura of Ovation Funding Solutions and get the timely expertise necessary in order to present the goals of our nonprofit in a orderly manner that meets the objectives of each individual grant that we apply for. Laura has been ready to sit and listen and give as much input as needed. If we need her to write the whole grant, she is willing and able. She is equally amenable to just proofreading a statement. Probably one of the most helpful things she has done for our organization has been to guide us through organizing the requirements for individual grants within Google Docs and due dates by month, “granting” us – pun intended – greater independence as we become more familiar with the process. Laura is a great coach and has been a invaluable asset to our organization.”

Why Hire A Professional Grant Writer?
Hiring a freelance grant writer is an excellent option for organizations needing a grant writer but not ready to hire a full or part-time employee.
A freelance grant writer can provide dedicated service to clients interested in applying for single or multiple grant applications.
The advantages of contracting a Certified Grant Writer rather than hiring an employee include:
- no fringe benefits to pay
- no office space or supplies to provide
- no time off or lack of productive time
- the highest level of ethical and professional standards – I will never take a percentage of your award!
What does it cost to not use me?
Time and money when your staff:
- Struggle through grant proposals
- Submit disjointed proposals that continually fail to win awards
- Miss important proposal deadlines
- Don’t have the experience and knowledge of the application system
What Does CGW certification mean for you?
Professional values and code of ethics:
- Put philanthropic mission above personal gain
- Affirm through personal giving
- a commitment to philanthropy
- Improve my professional knowledge and skills so my performance will better serve others;
- Practice my profession with the absolute obligation to safeguard the public trust;
- Value privacy and freedom of choice
- Foster cultural diversity and pluralistic values and treat all people with dignity and respect
- Avoid even the appearance of any inpropriety or professional misconduct
- Bring credit to the profession by my demeanor
- Act according to the highest standards and visions of the organization and profession and conscience; and be mindful of the codes of ethics of other professional organizations that serve philanthropy.
