HELPING YOU BUILD A BETTER TOMORROW


Telling your story...one grant at a time
ABOUT US
At GSC, we’re passionate about assisting communities and nonprofits in obtaining the funding they require. Let's bring your vision to life!
Hi, I’m Tara Damin, founder of GrantSmith Consulting, LLC. I started this company because I saw a real need—especially in rural communities—for guidance through the often confusing and overwhelming world of grant funding. Too many great projects go unfunded simply because people aren’t familiar with the criteria or processes of funding agencies. I wanted to change that.
For over 12 years, I’ve helped individuals, municipalities, nonprofits, and other organizations secure nearly $11 million in funding through grant writing, administration, and strategic planning. At GrantSmith, I specialize in local, state, federal, and philanthropic funding programs.
My approach starts with listening. I take the time to fully understand your goals, your needs, and your vision—then help craft a clear, compelling story that speaks to funders. In addition to grant writing, I also offer grant research, planning assistance, and proposal editing services.
If you have a project or idea you’re passionate about, I’d love to help you bring it to life. Let’s connect and explore how GrantSmith Consulting can support your mission.
