About Dana Stein

Now based in Baltimore, MD, I have been exclusively grantwriting since 2005, following the completion of a Masters in Public Administration at the George Washington University. I am very driven to help people in need, and after working with a number of nonprofit organizations, I realized that they can accomplish very little without solid programs and proper funding. I feel privileged to be able to spend my time working for good causes — whether this means getting HIV services to a poverty-stricken Baltimore population, building a girls’ empowerment program to prevent domestic violence, creating an education program for unaffiliated Jewish adults, or upgrading the amenities in a home for adults with mental disabilities.

I have a broad range of grantwriting experience. In particular, I specialize in finding and securing funding for hospitals, social service organizations, and Jewish organizations. I have been successful in writing both Federal and foundation grants, and am skilled at using Foundation Center resources. Since 2009, I have been focusing on writing grants in health care for all levels of government.

When I’m not writing, I enjoy hanging out with my husband Michael, son Samson, and daughter Astrid, hiking around Baltimore, and knitting socks.
