Hi! I’m Laura Keller.

I have been working as a freelance grant writer since 2016. Prior to that, I have worn many “hats” in the nonprofit sector over the past two decades including program management, community outreach, perinatal education, and volunteer development and training. As a grant writer, I have worked both independently and with teams to support a variety of nonprofits of all sizes. I am deeply familiar with the funding landscape of San Diego (and beyond) including private foundation, government, and corporate funders. Areas of experience include youth programming, social services, suicide prevention, mental health, animal welfare, workforce readiness, and more.

I have a successful track record of helping organizations develop and deliver high-quality programming, sustain and grow membership, and meet grant revenue goals. I am a skilled writer with the ability to tell compelling impact stories that are also backed by data and comprehensive research.

I look forward to connecting with you! Writing samples and professional references available upon request.
