Hi there.
I'm Shauna Urlacher, a stormwater engineer and grant writer. I work directly with communities to prepare FEMA, state, and local grant applications. I have spent years learning how to position flood-relief projects for grant funding.
I do this by writing grant applications in a way that highlights the aspects of the project most important to the grant selection committee. As a result, your grant application is more likely to receive funding.
I have helped my clients secure more than $30 Million in funding. If you need help with a grant application, I'd love to hear more about your project and grant opportunity.
