From the pen of Jill Suskind,
Et Al Jewish Grant Writing Services
Since my teenage years as a leader in Young Judaea’s Zionist youth movement and summer camps, Arik Einstein’s “Ani V’ata, N’shaneh et HaOlam”-- “You and I, we will change the world”-- has served as my personal mantra.
As an adult, those lyrics continue to echo in my personal and professional choices-- as a student in North Carolina and Israel to my 30-year career as a public school teacher in Maryland and Massachusetts, and now as a grant writer, brand designer, and organizational development consultant.
I take each program and project as an opportunity to “change the world,” partnering my resources and skills with the visions of artists, social activists, educators, families, synagogue committees, and environmentalists.
I am happy to provide an in-depth grant readiness assessment of your organization and make recommendations for strengthening your infrastructure, planning strategic partnerships, and establishing organizational processes. In addition, I am happy to offer graphic design and writing skills to create a variety of promotional materials that will be sure to impress.
My strong communication skills have served me as a suicide prevention hotline counselor and a Jewish educator; my clarinet and dancing shoes squeaked and wobbled in Jewish music bands and Israeli folk dances; and my unwavering Jewish identity leads me to sustain my connection to Israel, the American Jewish community, and social activism.
My clients appreciate my clear thinking and writing, creative wordsmithing, compulsive attention to detail, excellent organizational skills, passion for deadlines, unflagging work ethic, determination to close the deal, and irrepressible sense of humor.
Let's work together!
