About Me
My Why
GrantMakers was born from lived experience, not theory. After 30 years in healthcare—including 28 years as a Registered Respiratory Therapist and more than 15 years in leadership—I’ve seen firsthand how powerful missions can stall without strategy and how meaningful work can struggle without sustainable funding.
My work centers on healthcare, public health, mental health, leadership development, burnout prevention, and community capacity building. I understand what it takes to align mission with measurable outcomes, strengthen operational systems, and position organizations for long-term sustainability.
Through GrantMakers, I bridge passion and precision. I do more than write grants—I build readiness, develop leaders, and create funding strategies that support scalable, lasting impact.
I’m Dr. Shonda Marsh, and I believe when funding is strategic and leadership is strong, communities flourish.
