Hi, I’m Carmen Myers Reed.
A grant is a partnership, and successful grants are built on strong relationships with stakeholders. My background as both a funder and a nonprofit compliance and program manager allows me to bridge program, finance, and leadership teams. As your partner, I help organizations find, secure, and compliantly manage funding to grow their impact.
Want to learn more? Let’s talk about how I can help your organization grow—while you focus on impact.
My Approach
As a relationship builder, I start by getting to know your organization’s goals and capacity. Whether you’re scaling an existing program or just getting started, I meet you where you are and help you pursue grants that support sustainable, compliant growth.
Pre-Award
From opportunity identification through award, I partner with organizations to pursue grants strategically. Drawing on my full-service grants management experience—from review through implementation and closeout—I develop applications that are compelling, compliant, and funder-ready, while working with funders throughout the review process to support a smooth path to award.
Post-Award
Once awarded, I provide full-service grants management, leveraging subject matter expertise in the Uniform Guidance and practical experience managing reporting and compliance from both the funder and grantee perspectives.
Wherever you are in the grant lifecycle, let’s talk. I enjoy problem-solving and have a proven ability to step into complexity and help organizations move forward.
