Jennifer M. Sabatier, Owner/Writer/Consultant

Jennifer Sabatier graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. She has worked in the nonprofit sector for over 15 years. Nine of those years have been dedicated to grant proposal writing and nonprofit business development. With seven years of social service program experience, Ms. Sabatier understands the effectiveness of client centered services and mission driven programs. Because she has worked in various capacities for nonprofit organizations, including as a mental health technician, individual care provider, case manager, grant specialist and board member, Ms. Sabatier has a broad perspective and integrated knowledge of nonprofit businesses.

In 2003, Jennifer began her consulting business, NewBloomz, working with grassroots, small and mid-sized client organizations. During the last several years, she facilitated giving of significant amounts from both foundation and government sources with increased giving levels from several longtime foundation donors for client agencies. She secured multi-year funding from local, state and federal donors. Among her successful grant proposals, Ms. Sabatier wrote and received a federal grant award of $175,000 each year for three years from the National Council on the Aging Family Friends Project. Grant reviewers on the NCAF panel gave her proposal high accommodations, and it was one of 7 projects selected for funding out of 75 submitted. Ms. Sabatier also wrote and received a state grant award of $65,000 each year for three years from the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities for a Local Advocacy Training Project; the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities made grants to three projects out of the 33 proposals.

From 2004-2006, Jennifer has raised over one million dollars in grant funding for her clients. During fiscal year 2005-06 alone, Jennifer’s grant proposals raised over $650,000 in public and private grant funding for a $1 million budget. She doubled the grant funds from the previous year for a client organization serving individuals in crisis and at risk of suicide. Jennifer brought in $65,000 in foundation grant money toward a $68,000 budget for fiscal year 2008 for a startup, grassroots nonprofit serving teenage parents. During fiscal year 2006-07, Ms. Sabatier raised $40,000 in new funding and over $60,000 in traditional funds for programs serving individuals and families seeking self-sufficiency, housing, education and life and work skills. In 2008, Ms. Sabatier helped secure funding for classroom technology for a small, rural school district in Central Texas.

Jennifer Sabatier provides client-specific services based on the needs and budget of the nonprofit organization. She enjoys providing new tools and training to client organizations to enable them to expand their capacity to serve.
