Sandra Coveny

Strategist, Grant Writer, Systems Thinker

I work at the intersection of environmental and social justice, partnering with nonprofits, collaboratives, and community-based initiatives to advance housing stability, food systems, climate resilience, immigrant and refugee support, and health equity.

Whether I’m helping a grassroots collective secure its first major grant or guiding a seasoned nonprofit through funding transitions, I bring a big-picture mindset, sharp storytelling skills, and a deep respect for the communities at the heart of the work.

In moments of growth, crisis, innovation, and resistance—I know how to move resources toward the people and ideas that matter.
