Spokane + Anna = SpokeAnna
My Story
A fusion of passion, expertise, and community spirit: I'm Anna Marie Martin, also known as SpokeAnna.
I'm a Nonprofit Consultant & Grant Writer with over fifteen years of experience working with mission-driven organizations. My strengths are building strategic partnerships, finding creative ways to align nonprofit missions and funder goals, and writing compelling narratives that engage funders and donors.
During the pandemic, I expanded my work to include outreach and technical support for organizations seeking funding from city, state, federal, and foundation sources. One of my proudest accomplishments is securing a $1M grant for an antiracist childcare center in Spokane, creating 180 affordable childcare slots in underserved neighborhoods.
I am passionate about community building, the arts, recovery, and inclusion. I believe in the power of intentional communities to build resilient futures. Strategy, storytelling, and resources bring those visions to life. Let's explore what we could build together.
