Daniel Shaffer is a freelance nonprofit consultant and grant writer, focusing on women and minority owned businesses. After graduating with a degree in international relations, he joined a program working in predominantly Black and underserved communities within Pittsburgh, and shortly after found himself wanting to leverage his privilege to help open doors for members within his network that may not have had the same access otherwise.
In our conversation, we talk about the landscape of nonprofit funding, some of his tips for clients looking for funding, and how Covid has impacted access and processes for funding. To connect with Daniel, find him on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-e-f-shaffer
