Hello!
First, thanks for stopping by to checkout my business page! Second, let me
introduce myself. My name is Abby Hendren, founder of UFO Grants. The dream
of opening a grant consulting firm has been on my heart since 2023. Within the
past six years, I have explored the oddities of state, foundation, and federal
pass-through grants in my professional experiences working in public health,
healthcare, and higher education sectors. I leverage collaboration with
non-profit organizations, municipalities, workforce innovation centers, schools,
and other stakeholders to find, plan, and utilize awarded grant funds for the
greatest good. Whether you are interested in grant prospecting, application
preparation, award management, compliance support, or best practice consulting,
I am available to assist your organization in that journey!
I am currently open to clients located in Illinois or those serving Illinois populations
with 501(c)3 status, municipalities, local health departments, private healthcare
organizations, FQHCs, RHCs, and 4-year higher education institutions. Other
types of organizations may be eligible for my services, but services will be
determined eligible on a case-by-case basis with the understanding that I
hold a full-time position at a two-year community college in Illinois.
To avoid any conflict of interest, if an organization wishes to use
services rendered by UFO Grants LLC that may be competitive to that of my
employer, a referral for alternate grant services will be provided.
Thanks for considering UFO Grants in your grant support journey!
Abby Hendren
Founder, UFO Grants
