A full-service writing consultancy led by Ellen Alderton

I wrote and won my first grant in 2001 and immediately fell in love with the process. In the years since, I have secured funding from the Department of State, the Environmental Protection Agency, HRSA, SAMHSA, multiple NIH institutes, the Lilly Endowment, the Hewlett Foundation, the Packard Foundation, and numerous other private foundations.

I can guide your organization through the entire grantsmanship process, from project design and partnership development to the creation of a compelling proposal.

I also assist with a wide range of writing and editing projects. Over the course of my career, I have worked as a journalist in Brussels, a marketer for the Peace Corps, and an educational radio producer.

I received my A.B. in psychology, with honors, from Wellesley College and my M.A. in international relations from Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies.
