About Pacific Willow Consulting 

Meet Shanon Pettibone — Grant Consultant, Nonprofit Leader, and Advocate 

Every nonprofit is born from a dream—a belief that the world can be kinder, more just, and filled with purpose. I’ve seen firsthand the passion that fuels this work—the relentless dedication of people who pour their hearts into their mission. But I’ve also seen the struggle: the long nights spent chasing funding, the overwhelm of translating vision into a compelling grant proposal.

​

That’s why I founded Pacific Willow Consulting—to help nonprofits shift from surviving to thriving.With years of experience in nonprofit leadership, I understand both the heart and strategy behind sustainable funding. I’ve led teams, built programs, cultivated donor relationships, and supported mission-driven work through thoughtful, strategic grant consulting. I bring that same approach to my clients: grounded, collaborative, and tailored to each organization’s unique voice and goals.

​

I believe in empathy and connection—taking the time to deeply understand every organization I work with. Clarity is essential in every proposal I write, ensuring your mission shines through in ways that resonate with funders. Collaboration is at the heart of my work; I don’t just show up with a template—I become a partner in your success. And at the core of everything I do is sustainability, helping you build systems and strategies that support your funding goals for the long term.

​

Whether you’re preparing your first grant proposal or looking to scale an existing program, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence. I offer grant readiness assessments, customized grant research, proposal writing, and ongoing strategic support—all tailored to your goals and capacity.
