JESS KIMBALL

Grant Services

Securing funding is about more than just filling out forms; it is about telling a story of community resilience and systemic change. With a background in psychological science and a Professional Graduate Certificate in Restorative Justice, I approach grant writing through a lens of equity and evidence-based practice. Currently pursuing a Juris Doctor at Vermont Law, I provide nonprofits with the technical precision and advocacy-driven narrative needed to win competitive state, federal, and private foundation grants.

Specialty Focus Areas

  • Maternal Health & Doula Programs As a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula and PMH-C with years of clinical experience, I understand the operational needs of maternal health organizations. I specialize in funding for doula training, birth justice initiatives, and perinatal mental health services.
  • Social Services & Human Rights Drawing on leadership roles in global foundations , I draft proposals that address complex social issues, including gender-based violence, LGBTQ+ equity, and racial justice. I help organizations build sustainable frameworks for crisis response and family support systems.
  • Food Access & Rural Sustainability Combining my current work in rural healthcare workforce development with my expertise in supporting rural Appalachian populations, I support initiatives focused on food sovereignty and community health. I understand the unique logistical challenges of rural settings and the importance of localized support systems.
  • ​Restorative Justice & Legal Advocacy Leveraging my experience with the National Center on Restorative Justice and my specialized graduate training, I assist organizations in securing funding for programs that center on community-led healing and legal reform.
