Bio

Liz is an experienced grant writer, researcher, and manager who has secured over $12 million in grant funds since 2017.

She served as the program director for a large, federally-funded after school program for 5 years and launched LCF Grant Consulting while there, transitioning the business into a full-time affair in February 2020. Her clients include schools, animal shelters, cultural and arts organizations, and human service organizations. Liz is a self-taught excel nerd who loves a good rubric. She is also an experienced presenter, leading dozens of professional development sessions related to grants and education. In her free time, she enjoys reading, cycling, and traveling to places with lots of sunshine.
