Susan McLean

Sacramento, San Jose, Santa Cruz

As a grant writer, I advise organizations on how to make themselves attractive to funders. That means helping organizations operate with the greatest integrity, transparency, and effectiveness possible. These conversations help them focus their energy wisely and avoid costly mistakes.

As a writer and editor, I polish corporate communications for maximum effectiveness. Fundraising appeal letters are my specialty: one development director said my holiday appeal letter tripled her organization's holiday income, and my work helped another organization gain a ten-fold improvement in its direct mail results.

I work with numerous causes, including:

  • healthcare
  • STEM education
  • parenting
  • child abuse prevention
  • environment
  • counseling
  • civil rights
  • foster children
  • disaster preparedness
  • gang prevention
  • economic empowerment
  • bullying prevention
  • and much more.
