“Working with Daphney Jean changed our approach to philanthropic grant funding. As part of Maryland Nonprofits' Grant Writing Center, she built our first pipeline of mission-aligned funders, coached us through relationship cultivation with prospects, and helped us craft compelling applications that captured our technical expertise and impact — leading to our first philanthropic foundation grant award through the Kahlert Foundation. Her knowledge of the philanthropic landscape is strong, and we would not hesitate to recommend her.”
Greg Miller, Executive Director, Health Tech Alley
