Megan brings more than a decade of experience working across philanthropy and the nonprofit sector, partnering with corporations, foundations, and community-based organizations to develop thoughtful approaches to strategy, funding, and impact.

She helps clients turn that perspective into practical strategies and programs that advance their goals.

She works closely with funders and grantees to navigate funding decisions, build strong relationships, and make the grantmaking process work well for everyone involved. Her work also includes strengthening grantmaking systems and workflows, improving data quality and reporting, and translating portfolio insights into broader strategy and learning. She helps organizations develop clear, effective processes that balance rigor and efficiency with a high-quality experience for applicants and grantees.
Known for her collaborative and solutions-oriented approach, Megan brings curiosity, empathy, and attention to detail to complex challenges. Her experience across corporations, foundations, and nonprofits gives her a cross-sector perspective and a deep appreciation for the relationships and context that shape effective philanthropy.
