Areas of expertise include: housing; healthcare; foundations; and social services. He has worked with city, state, federal government funding and foundation funding. He has managed application processes from beginning to end as well as successfully executed and performed grant contracts. Frank has the unique grant experience of not only being an experienced grant writer and applicant, but he was a grantor for a national foundation giving him insight few in grants have. He managed a $1 million annual grant program which included conducting a needs assessment to determine funding categories and funding levels; request for application process; soliciting applications and ensuring applicants met minimum qualifications to apply; identifying grant reviewers and training grant reviewers; presenting the slate of approved grants to the board for approval; notifying the public of grantees awarded and funding amounts. In addition Frank has been a grant reviewer.
