Meet Tiffany!
Tiffany Thibodeau is the Principal Consultant at Tiffany Thibodeau Consulting, a New England-based grant writing firm specializing in education and youth development.
Tiffany’s 20+ year career spans education, nonprofit development, communications, and operations. As a grant consultant, her primary goal is to help time-strapped nonprofit leaders develop and implement a sustainable grant strategy to help them move their mission forward and improve outcomes for their community, especially young people.
Her approach is simple: get to know the organization’s mission and vision deeply and develop repeatable processes to help organizations grow their grant portfolio. Tiffany doesn’t just write grant proposals, she offers guidance to improve internal structures, cultivate relationships with grantmakers, and improve your organization’s external communications to attract potential supporters.
Tiffany has a bachelor’s degree in communications and a master’s in education from Russell Sage College. She is a member of the Grant Professionals Association (GPA) and its New England Chapter (GPANE).
She serves on the board of Hilltown Land Trust, the Advisory Board of The Sphere Northampton, and as co-chair of the Friends of the Worthington Library, and is a member of several committees focused on education and environmental stewardship. Outside of her work with nonprofit organizations, Tiffany enjoys bingeing K-dramas and exploring New England trails with her partner and two pups.
