Meet Your Instructor- Wendie Veloz
Hi, I’m Wendie Veloz, I’m a Social Impact Strategist, coach, and consultant with over 15 years of experience in social services. I am passionate about helping organizations and individuals make a positive impact in their communities and the world.
I have a unique background in government funding, nonprofit management, and social entrepreneurship. My expertise helps clients develop and implement sustainable strategies for social change. I am a speaker and thought leader on issues related to social impact and sustainability. You’ll find me at virtual training and at networking events sharing resources and practical tools for sustainable impact-driven work.
My experience as a grant professional is deeply rooted in the 13 years I spent creating successful and sustainable programs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. During these years I learned the ins and outs of federal grant writing, review, and management. I honed my expertise and trained hundreds of grantees in strategies to implement and sustain their work. I also reviewed hundreds of grant applications and oversaw grant review competitions year after year.
When I left the federal government to work in local government, I realized how valuable this experience was. Understanding federal, state, and local funding at a deep level to create synergy to solve complex problems is a very cool skill to have.
That’s why this course is so different from anything else on the market. This course is written from the perspective of what you need to do in advance BEFORE you have any funding to be ready to put the money into action once you’ve secured it.
If you’re ready to create sustainable grant writing capacity in your organization, I’m here to help you make it happen. I give you the tools you would normally get AFTER you get funded. These are the same techniques and tools I used to teach new grantees to be successful. These are also the same methods I’ve taught to my staff and team members as a funder.
I’m looking forward to helping you reach your funding goals.
