David Ayieko Ougo

I have more than eight years’ experience in non-profit development and more than five years’ experience in grant/proposal writing and management. I have successfully raised more than $5M in grants funding from foundations, corporations, and the public sector in Atlanta Georgia, Washington State and Southern California. I am able to work remotely for any location around the world.

I have worked on proposals for causes such as homelessness and housing, women’s causes, domestic violence, food insecurity, disaster response, emergency preparedness, veterans, COVID-19 relief, and youth development subjects such as academic success, social-emotional learning, college success, workforce readiness, diversity, equity, and inclusion, youth leadership, arts, and STEM. I have experience working on proposals for capital projects for affordable housing and community centers.

I am proficient in all aspects of a grant proposal and application including developing program budgets and budget narratives, abstract and program summary, need statement, goals, objectives and outcomes, evaluation, sustainability, and preparing supporting documents/attachments.
