Ashley Lane Consulting

Ashley is a storyteller, a factfinder, and the lover of a well-laid-out plan. Since 2005, she’s been figuring out how to “make things happen” (her first official job description). After working in marketing, communications, and program management for 14 years, she accidentally became the Grant Coordinator for an equine-assisted services ranch and learned how to write grants.

Ashley approaches grants with a communicator’s training. She increased the ranch’s grant revenue by 68% in her first two and a half years. She has since joined GPA, earned her GPC, and founded her own consulting business, Ashley Lane Consulting. She loves grants because of their ability to help organizations and people succeed, and she tries to make that her mission as a grant professional.
