Shaped by experience gained in previous development roles at Girl Scouts of Utah, Utah Film Center, and Sundance Institute, Laura founded Granted Fundraising Consultants in 2014. Passionate about disrupting inequitable grantmaking practices, she continually leads her team in the development of programs to address them. Laura has color grapheme synesthesia, informing Granted’s policy on providing working drafts to clients in blue font. Striving to stay ahead of ever-evolving guidelines in the fundraising field, she has held her CFRE certification since 2019 and her GPC since 2024. She currently serves on the board of trustees for Creative West and enjoys acting as a regular grant reviewer for National Endowment for the Arts, Utah Division of Arts and Museums, and the Utah State Library Division. Laura has never turned down a soft pretzel and loves to play outside with her husband and dog.
