Funding More Impact

Hi there! I’m Vanessa Burns, the heart and soul behind Vanessa Burns Grant Consulting.​

 

I started my business during the pandemic, with the joy (and chaos) of having my daughter sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast during Zoom calls.

 

What began as a vision, has now grown into a trusted grant consulting resource for organizations across Canada, and beyond.​

 

When I’m not trying to disrupt the grant landscape, you’ll find me climbing mountains and frozen waterfalls, spinning a bike at a spin class, planning my next trip, or hanging with my two daughters or Arthur, my Border Collie. Marie Forleo’s motto, “Everything is figureoutable,” is my life philosophy. It’s how I approach every challenge, whether scaling rock faces or tackling grant roadblocks.
