About Elise
I'm Elise Verdin, a grant writer based in Victoria, BC. I believe that organizations doing meaningful work in their communities deserve funding partners who take the time to truly understand what they're building.
I bring a thoughtful, strategic approach to every application, by building a story about each project. I take the time to get to know your organization deeply, so that when it's time to make your case to funders, it speaks from the heart.
What I offer
Whether you're applying for your first grant or scaling an established program, I offer the expertise and partnership you need to succeed.
Identifying the right funding opportunities for your organization — foundations, government grants, and other sources aligned with your mission and programs.
Crafting compelling, well-researched grant proposals that communicate your impact clearly and make a strong case for funding support.
Developing clear, accurate budget justifications that demonstrate responsible stewardship and align with funder expectations and requirements.
Writing thorough and compelling reports for existing funders — maintaining strong relationships and keeping the door open for future support.
Working alongside your team to strengthen your internal grant-writing capacity through coaching, templates, and review of your own drafts.
Consistent, reliable grant writing support on an ongoing basis — ideal for organizations with regular funding cycles and multiple applications per year.
Get in touch
Whether you have a specific grant in mind or you're just starting to explore funding options, I'd love to hear about your organization's work.
Reach out and we'll set up a time to connect — no obligation, just a conversation.
