I’m Dennis Marion, a grant writer and development consultant with experience across nonprofits of many sizes and missions. I have spent my career helping organizations clarify their goals, communicate their impact, and secure the resources they need to grow. I bring a calm, organized approach to every project, and I work closely with clients to make the process clear, collaborative, and efficient. This work is meaningful to me because strong nonprofits strengthen communities, and I am grateful for the chance to support that.
I prepare clear, compelling grant proposals that reflect each organization’s mission, goals, and impact. This includes drafting new submissions, updating existing templates, and tailoring materials for specific funders.
I identify strong funding opportunities by reviewing philanthropic databases, past giving patterns, and mission alignment. The result is a targeted pipeline that supports long term fundraising growth.
I work with clients to shape competitive requests, refine program language, and position proposals for success. This includes budget guidance, framing support, and recommending the best asks for each funder.
I draft grant reports that highlight progress, outcomes, and responsible use of funds. I also support ongoing funder communication to strengthen relationships and increase renewal potential.
I create polished organizational materials such as case statements, one pagers, and program descriptions. These pieces help clients tell their stories clearly and consistently across all fundraising efforts.
I support special projects, from launching new initiatives to refining fundraising systems. Each engagement is customized to help an organization build capacity and meet its goals.
