About Your Grant Strategist, Evelyn Yielding

Born and raised in Tacoma, Washington, I’ve had the privilege of helping many of the nonprofits I’ve grown up with. In 2025 alone, I helped small-to-medium nonprofit clients secure over $1.1 million in grant funding, and more than $7,079,000+ in total. As an experienced grant writer, I’ve seen the need for long-term, one-off, and emergency grant writing services.

I specialize in supporting organizations across Pierce County and the Pacific Northwest, helping local nonprofit organizations compete for local, regional, and national funding opportunities.
