Getting important things done requires funding, and funders and donors are getting a lot of interest in their grant opportunities, requiring you to set yourself apart and demonstrate why your organization or initiative should be funded. By getting to know your organization, initiative, or project, Words for Impact brings what you do to life, communicating the impact that your funding will achieve.

Words for Impact strives to communicate WHY you’re asking for funding, WHO will benefit from programs/services, WHAT you’ll do to achieve goals, and HOW funding your organization, programs, or services will lead to ultimate impact. Fund prospecting and consultation is available as well.

Do you have the smarts and expertise, and a really important idea for a research study, but may be lacking in writing skills?

That's what I'm hear for.

I have worked in the past with numerous faculty and researchers from some of the world's most revered research universities. I understand how academics and researchers think, and also understand how to write a research funding proposal that they simply can't pass up.

My experience is multi-disciplinary, with a wealth of experience in Knowledge Translation (KT) and Knowledge Mobilization (KM), with an advanced understanding of various research methodologies.

We live in an evidence-based world, where funding, policy, programming, phenomena, and the future require reliable and valid data to be catalysts for change or impact.

With a background in Community Based Research (CBR) methodology, research communications, and Knowledge Translation (KT), Words for Impact helps execute research studies, program evaluations, and qualitative and quantitative data analysis, with the tools and services to write final research reports that tell a compelling story for organizations, decision-makers, funders, and other stakeholders.

Every life has stories worth telling; however, most people are better at living life rather than writing about it.

This is where Words for Impact comes in. Through building a comfortable, direct, and safe relationship, Anne-Marie works with people to thoughtfully extract stories that mean something to become written and shared.

Listening carefully, asking the right questions, noting important points, and weaving many stories into one cohesive piece is Anne-Marie’s unique skill, providing people with a biographical or autobiographical written piece that can be shared or act as a record of a significant life lived.

The way people learn has changed. No longer is learning done through an information-dissemination model, and education and training programs have adapted to new technologies while incorporating various learning styles.

With a Master of Education in Curriculum Studies, Anne-Marie of Words for Impact not only creates training and education materials for organizations, educational institutions, and companies but also will analyze and consult on the potential efficacy of the proposed curriculum for learners.

The goal is to always ensure optimal absorption and application of materials by thoughtfully engaging the learner by incorporating materials that appeal to diverse learning needs, different learning styles, and levels of literacy and experience.

Winston Churchill is famous for saying "History is written by the victors." My own study of history in the early 2000s has confirmed this to be true.

Words for Impact is very interested in dismantling our prior understandings of history with the voices of those who have been historically marginalized. If you need someone to do a deep dive into a historical event, phenomenon, or story, I'm the one to do that.

I also work with specific cultural groups to collect, store, and preserve their history. Examples of which can be found in the "Past Projects" section of the website.

Do your communications strategies effectively demonstrate the impact of your organization?
