Where story meets strategy.
Birch + Ink Communications is a boutique writing and funding support studio specializing in grant writing, editorial services and non-profit communications.

Overview
Who We Are
With more than 15 years of experience in journalism and editorial leadership, I have built a career helping organizations communicate with clarity, accuracy and purpose. Today, Birch + Ink Communications supports rural and non-profit organizations across Canada through strategic grant writing and thoughtful communications services designed to strengthen funding readiness and articulate impact.
​
Birch + Ink Communications is founded on a simple principle: organizations doing meaningful work deserve clear, credible storytelling — and the funding to sustain it. Strong ideas and important missions require more than passion alone; they require structure, strategy and language that funders trust.
​
The name Birch + Ink reflects this approach. Birch trees symbolize resilience, adaptability and renewal. Ink represents craft, intention and the power of well-chosen words. Together, Birch + Ink captures the core of my work: helping organizations build strong foundations, communicate their value with confidence, and pursue new opportunities.
​
Whether you are preparing for funding, refining your organizational narrative or strengthening your public voice, Birch + Ink Communications provides practical, informed support to help move your mission forward.
