Helping Purpose-led Organisations Secure Funding and Streamline Operations

So you can focus on what matters

Book Your Strategy Call

Drowning in admin while your mission sits on the back burner?

You're passionate about creating real change, but some days it feels like you're spending more time wrestling with overdue reports, nitty-gritty content flows, and searching for funding than actually doing the work you set out to do. You know there's funding out there, but finding opportunities that actually match your criteria feels impossible when you're already stretched thin. Meanwhile, that incredible data you've been collecting sits unappreciated, and those award opportunities keep passing you by because who has time to write compelling applications?

Here's the thing: you're not alone, and there's a way to break this cycle.

GRANT WRITING

Put funding behind your mission without losing momentum.

You know your work deserves funding. But translating impact into a compelling grant application takes time you don't have. That's where I come in. I'll handle the heavy lifting — analysing grant guidelines, crafting a strategic narrative that aligns with what funders are looking for, and ensuring every technical requirement is met. From scientific grants to philanthropic applications, I work alongside you to develop proposals that demonstrate the win-win-win: for the funder, the community, and your mission. You bring the expertise and vision. I'll make sure it lands on the page in a way that gets results. Ready to put funding behind your mission without losing momentum? Let's talk.

GRANT REVIEWS

Expert feedback that strengthens your application — without the full investment.

Already drafted your application but want a second set of eyes before you hit submit? Grant review gives you expert feedback without the full investment. I'll evaluate your completed application against the criteria, highlight gaps or missed opportunities, and suggest practical ways to strengthen your case. Whether it's refining your narrative, tightening your word count, or making sure you've answered what's actually being asked, this service is designed to give smaller grants the best possible chance — without breaking the budget. If you've done the groundwork and just need strategic polish, this is the support that makes sense. Book a call and we'll work out if a review is the right fit for your application.

Why I Created This Service

As a former conservation ecologist and award-winning communicator, I know firsthand how hard it is to juggle mission-critical work with operational tasks like award applications. You're passionate about impact, not paperwork.

But I also know the power of recognition. Awards opened doors for my research, attracted collaborators to projects, and gave me platforms to share work that mattered.

The problem? Changemakers don't have days to spend on each application, don't know which awards are worth pursuing, and struggle to translate their technical work into compelling stories.

This service exists to bridge that gap — so the most important work gets the recognition it deserves.

From Environmental Researcher to Trusted Impact Strategist

Meet Jess - Your Strategic Partner

A few years ago, I was living my dream as a conservation ecologist, tracking spoonbills by kayak and conducting botanical surveys in landscapes few people get to visit.

However, what truly energised me wasn't just the fieldwork, it was streamlining processes, creating automations and applications that resulted in 200% increase in efficiency! Seeing the impact I had made to my teams made me incredible proud.

When health challenges led me away from field research, I found a new way to serve environmental and sustainability causes. I had seen first hand the frustration that brilliant researchers faced drowning in admin and poor systems while vital work and the work that excited them stalled.

Today, I bring that same curiosity, scientific background, critical-thinking skills and big picture thinking into helping purpose-led organisations grow. When you work with me, your mission becomes my mission. I’ll dedicate myself to your cause and goals as if they were my own. If you’re ready for a partner who genuinely gets the purpose-led space –please say hi
