Mary Harwood
Harwood Consulting
I help small to medium size nonprofit organizations tell their story and raise funds to further their mission. I help them with fundraising campaigns - both annual and capital. I research and write grants as well as advise on marketing strategies to grow their reach in the community.
When I was between jobs, Robin Turnau at VPR suggested I use my writing talents on grants. She became my first client. I helped her secure funding for a special storytime show. I also reached out to Vermont libraries to help them with their Freeman Foundation grants that year and worked with eight public libraries across the state.
Since then I have built a successful consulting and grantwriting business, with a high rate of success. This includes helping the South Hero Library raise $1.5 million in private funding to build a new public library. I also helped a local Veterans shelter obtain over $400,000 in federal funding for their program.
