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.

FACT
The City of Des Plaines began working with Shauna in 2015. Since that time, she has helped them secure over $20 million in grant funding, allowing Des Plaines to buyout more than 70 flood-prone homes.
