About

Mary founded Sage Funding Solutions LLC to bring deep federal grant writing experience to organizations that need strong proposals but may not have a full-time development staff.
She knows what federal reviewers look for: narratives that answer every criterion, budgets that match the work, and outcomes that can be measured. She works closely with program staff so the proposal reflects how your work actually happens.
