Jane B.  Ford, M.Ed. has worked with hundreds of nonprofits in the past three decades helping them raise millions of dollars to support their missions.  She began working in the nonprofit field in 1978 as the director of a neighborhood center and then became the executive director of a housing nonprofit.  In both these positions, she wrote grant proposals and secured public and private grants for these organizations.

In 1985, Jane joined the staff of a national housing organization.  Here she coached executive directors, trained board members and taught resource development and grant seeking to staff. In addition, Jane was a sought-after trainer at regional and national institutes.  This position also gave her the opportunity to serve on proposal review teams and participate in decisions resulting in millions of dollars of grant funds being awarded to local nonprofits.
