Supporting your need for mission funding
What We Do
Achieving your organization’s goals requires many hands, yet -- are there ever enough hours in the workday? Your projects need funding. Full-Time employees stretch the budget and require ongoing, specialized training. Your office needs updated, critical technological assets for grant-seeking, which further stretch expenses.
Grant Scout is your solution for these challenges. We partner with you to find the best-fit grants and write competitive proposals to fund your ideas. We can lighten your work load, so you get to spend your valuable time on the work you love. Not only will you save the hassle and expense of seeking funding yourself, but you can feel confident that your research-backed proposal will make a strong case to funders.
At Grant Scout, we support your need for mission funding.
Hi, I’m Tracy!
I’m the Founder and Principal Consultant of Grant Scout.
My main focus has always been making positive change for important causes. By helping organizations fund programs that fulfill their mission, they can be changemakers, too. I realized years ago that while one person can make a difference, locking arms with visionary organizations already doing the hard work makes massive change, and that’s what drives me daily.
- 30+ years of experience in marketing, writing, editing, graphic design, fundraising and nonprofit operations
- Awarded multiple Grant Writing Certificates from Texas State University
- Grant Professionals Association member
Beyond changemaking, I enjoy travel, hiking, scuba diving, animal rescue, environmental projects, and spending quality time with family.
