About
Grant Crafters

At Grant Crafters, every proposal begins with a plan. We help nonprofits turn vision into strategy — crafting clear, funder-aligned roadmaps that position your organization for sustainable growth.

Founded by Lara Zawacki, MPA, Grant Crafters combines 15 years of nonprofit experience in special education, workforce inclusion, and program development. Lara’s approach is equal parts strategy and storytelling — grounded in the belief that not every grant is a win, but every attempt is an opportunity to refine, strengthen, and grow.

We write with purpose. Every project is built on a foundation of equity, inclusion, and community impact that extends far beyond the page. Whether you’re mapping out future funding, developing a full grant forecasting plan, or seeking a long-term strategic partner, Grant Crafters ensures your organization moves forward with confidence and clarity.

Strategy. Clarity. Purpose.
Because every great grant starts with all three.
