Available to hire
I’m Patience Khasoa, a strategic grants and fundraising professional with 5+ years of experience supporting NGOs and community initiatives across East Africa, Germany, and the USA. I founded Grants Research Advisory Capacity Enhancement to help organizations map donors, design fundraising strategies, and develop compelling grant proposals, while also training teams to translate SDG-aligned program goals into actionable funding plans.
I thrive on building sustainable funding pipelines through donor engagement, MEAL-informed reporting, and strong partnerships. My work blends program outcomes with clear narratives that resonate with funders, and I enjoy coaching others to strengthen fundraising capabilities and grant writing skills for lasting impact.
