About me

Hello! I’m Yolanda – a certified EU fundraising consultant and creative all-rounder with a deep-rooted passion for language, aesthetics, and social transformation.

My background includes a wide range of experience in art, culture, social and ecological education initiatives, as well as supporting grassroots movements. I also bring expertise in creative writing, translation, and international collaboration. What sets me apart from many is my solid hands-on experience with projects that have a direct impact on society – I know what it means to bring ideas to life and create real influence. True to the motto: An ounce of lived experience is worth more than a ton of theory.

I work with a holistic approach grounded in intercultural competence, clarity, empathy, and ethical values. I don’t just write grant applications – I immerse myself in your project, understand the essence of your vision, and develop a tailor-made strategy with you. This creates bridges between inspiration and funding, between local engagement and international funding structures.

I believe in fair collaboration, transparent communication, and lasting impact. My work thrives on mutual respect and the conviction that real change comes through empowered, authentic voices.

If you want to bring your vision to solid ground and navigate the EU or international funding landscape with substance, heart, and structure – I’m here to support you.

Let’s find the words that move – and strategies that work.
