About

Before moving to Maine in 2006, Kelly worked at an AIDS service organization as Development Manager in Cambridge, MA. She was the sole fundraising staff, and as a member of the management team she learned firsthand about program development and non-profit organizations as a whole. In the fall of 2015 Kelly began working with the Director of Development at the Hurricane Island Foundation in Rockland. She helped with donor research, cleaning up the database, conducting grant research, and assisting with grant strategies. Over the past year and a half she has been pivotal in landing grants from new funders, including the Alfred and Dorothy Suzi Osher Foundation, Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation, and the Margaret E. Burnham Charitable Trust.

Current and past clients include the Restorative Justice Project in Belfast, The Apprenticeshop in Rockland, and the PEAR Institute at Harvard University in Cambridge. Kelly has a B.A. in Psychology, with a concentration in Professional Writing, from Carnegie Mellon University.
