VI. GRANTS AWARDED
Author of more than 100 award winning grant proposals over the
last eight years that produced $8.7 million in grant funding for
education, after school programs, labor relations, workforce
development, technology, distance learning, science, economic
development, community revitalization, health care and breast
cancer. (See list attached)
As a grant writing training consultant for Zocklein and
Associates and President of US Government Grants, I have trained
more than 1,500 individuals from nonprofit organization between
2003 and 2006 in the process of successful grant writing. While
not all students report their successes, recently 15 past
participants have reported winning grant awards with a combined
total of $5 million. As President of US Government Grants I am
responsible for administration, event planning, financial
accounting and reporting, grant consultation, marketing,
training and website development.
As Executive Director of the Area Labor Management Cooperative
Council I grew the organization from a $25,000 budget in 1989 to
a $500,000 budget in 2001 and inspired the first ever Ohio
Appalachian Leadership Conference which became an annual event
for the organization. This conference included a variety of
successful leadership case studies and featured nationally
recognized speakers, university scholars, state legislators,
major labor unions, and major manufacturing companies such as
Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel, Miller Brewing Company, Longaberger
Basket Company, Colgate-Palmolive, Corning Glass Company, and
Pillsbury Baking Company. In addition, I designed a program to
help prepare students for the workplace of the future and
facilitated collaborative partnerships between business, labor,
education and the community. Between 1998 and 2001 we received
grants to fund a state-of-art science exploration center and
several community technology centers in rural elementary
schools, bringing in $1.5 million in grant funding for the
project. We trained elementary students to build computers in
less than 25 minutes, as well as trained them to teach other
elementary students on computer assembly. All computer building
activities were aligned with core curriculum in reading,
writing, citizenship, math and science. Over a two year period,
we increased student learning outcomes from 5% in math to 22% in
science. Student learning outcomes in writing also increased by
21% because we engaged students in a variety of writing
assignments such as reporting on the baseline situation, writing
letters of support, and thanking the grantors.
As a grant consultant for Springfield City Schools in
Springfield, Ohio I designed an after school program that
generated $1.3 million in funding over a three year period to
address the problems of academic failure, teenage pregnancy,
alcohol and drug abuse, teen violence and crime, urban blight,
and a shortage of skilled labor. The project was called “The
21st Century City” and it engaged youth in a variety of service
learning projects to help revitalize downtown Springfield.
Between 2001 and 2003 I was employed by The Rose in Houston,
Texas as a Grant Writer and Project Evaluator where I was
responsible for obtaining over 70% operation needs through grant
writing efforts. I assisted in a $10 million dollar capital
campaign project that generated over $3.3 million in 20 months.
My responsibilities included all quarterly reporting, including
the collection of data from all departments, interpretation of
data, and technical reporting skills. I was selected as one of
three to present at the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Fund’s
national conference in 2003. During the two year period that I
worked for the Rose I increased the funding level for direct
patient services from $700,000 annually to $1.3 million annually
to provide breast cancer education, screening, diagnostics and
treatment to more than 10,000 medically underserved women in
Texas.
For eighteen months, between late 2004 and early 2006, I
consulted for the Asian American Health Coalition of Greater
Houston, Inc. and assisted them in obtaining $1.3 million in
grants to establish Community Health Care Center that provides
linguistically appropriate and culturally sensitive primary
health care services to low-income Asians and other minorities
in the Greater Houston area. Health care services included
mental health cares services, primary health care, and dental
for medically served people of all ages.
In 2004, I established the Center for Rural Outreach and Public
Services, Inc. as a 501 (c) 3, nonprofit organization in Indiana
whose mission is “to empower intergenerational groups of
individuals and organizations to work together to solve their
own problems.” As a volunteer Executive Director for CROPS, I’ve
assisted in the establishment of three other nonprofit
organizations to promote arts and culture in rural communities,
provide emergency human service assistance to economically
disadvantaged people, and offer affordable day care services to
the working poor. In 2005 I launched a youth-led, rural
community development project to revitalize the small town of
San Pierre, Indiana. Twenty at-risk youth are actively involved
in the project. They have written letters of support, presented
at town meetings, designed plans for a skate plaza, worked with
a professional artist to create a billboard sized Goal Chart,
and made a PowerPoint presentation to members of the San Pierre
Alumni Association to request financial support. The goal chart
is an amazing piece of art that integrates their desire for a
skate plaza and capitalizes on the sand hill crane migration
phenomena that brings in over 30,000 bird watchers through San
Pierre each year.
VII. ARTICLES, FILMS AND PAPERS PRODUCED
Review on the State of Connecticut’s Permanent Commission on the
Status of Women. The February 1978 report addressed a study the
Commission conducted on “Sex Discrimination in Clerical Work”
and proposed a “Manual for Change.” As a special project for my
employer, United Technologies, my task was to read the report,
research as necessary, and make recommendations to address the
issues as they affected our corporation. 1984
Paper on “Sexual Harassment in the Workplace” – a report written
for internal distribution to management and supervisors at
United Technologies. 1985
Recipient of a grant from the US Department of Labor in the
amount of $375,000 to produce multi-media educational tool kit
for Ohio School to Work Program. The tool kit involved the
production of three videos and three workbooks that were
designed to better prepare elementary/secondary students for the
workplace of the future. This project involved the development
of curriculum, directory of resources, and professional
development tools for teachers. 1999
