I help non-profits secure grant funding for impactful projects so you can focus on your mission.
My name is Kathleen — you can call me Katie! — and I am a Grant Professional based in Saint John, New Brunswick and Toronto, Ontario. I have provided grant writing and grant strategy support to non-profit organizations of all kinds with a focus on arts organizations and those serving the 2SLGBTQIA+ community since 2019.

One of the few GPCs in Canada!
The GPC credential is a rigorous, internationally recognized certification that demonstrates advanced knowledge of grant development, management, and best practices.
As of March 1, 2025 I am one of the few certified grant professionals in Canada, and the first in Atlantic Canada!
It’s not just a title—it’s a commitment to excellence, continuous learning, and ethical grant seeking. For my clients, this means working with someone who meets the highest professional standards in the field, and who knows how to craft strong, fundable proposals that align with funder priorities and community impact.
“Katie is an absolute dream to work with. She is efficient, task-oriented and thorough—an empathetic problem solver who goes above and beyond at every level. Not only has she helped us grow our capacity as an organization, but she has also helped us strategize, mobilize and look for new ways to diversify our funding opportunities.”
-ALEX ASH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CHROMA NBSince 2019, I have helped artists and non-profits access over $2.7 million in grant funding.
6 years
After graduating from SACI College of Art and Design in Florence, Italy with a Masters degree in Art History, I worked as a grant writer for an International Sculpture Symposium in my home of Saint John, NB. From there, I served as Executive Director of Third Space Gallery for almost three years, which has led me to becoming a full-time self-employed grant writer and funding consultant!
$2.7 million
I have helped artists and non-profits secure funding for everything from contemporary art festivals to intergenerational programming for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. I specialize in arts and social justice projects, but I love trying new things, so get in touch!
5 provinces
Although I do a lot of work in my home province of New Brunswick, I am proud to have supported artists and non-profit organizations in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Quebec, and British Columbia. Help me reach my goal of working in all 13 provinces & territories!
