Where Funding Strategy Meets the Art of Storytelling
At Meadowlark Consulting, we believe grants are more than paperwork — they’re an art form.
When shaped with clarity, strategy, and heart, grants have the power to unlock innovation, expand care, and transform health outcomes.
We partner with hospitals, research institutions, and mission-driven nonprofits to turn complex ideas into compelling, fundable narratives. With more than twenty years of experience in healthcare, public health, and philanthropy, we help organizations secure the resources they need to improve lives and strengthen communities.
Your Mission, Fully Funded — and Fully Understood
From multi-million-dollar federal proposals to long-term foundation partnerships, Meadowlark Consulting brings structure, creativity, and strategic insight to every stage of your grant journey.
We combine storytelling, systems thinking, and data-driven impact to position your work for success — so your team can stay focused on delivering high-quality care and advancing equity.
Whether you’re building your first grant program or scaling a multi-million-dollar portfolio, I help translate your mission into proposals that resonate — with precision, creativity, and purpose.
A Strategist Who Understands the Soul of Healthcare Work
I’m Morgan Elizabeth Brown, MPH, MPA, founder of Meadowlark Consulting.
I’ve spent over two decades helping national nonprofits, academic medical centers, and research organizations secure millions in competitive funding. My background bridges public health, policy, and philanthropy — which means I understand both the science and the story behind healthcare innovation.
My career includes leadership roles where I learned firsthand how much vision, rigor, and heart go into improving patient lives. Meadowlark Consulting was born from a desire to support this work more deeply — with a values-driven, partnership-centered approach.
I believe:
Great grants come from great clarity
Strategy is most powerful when it’s human
Funding should empower, not overwhelm
And every organization deserves a consultant who listens as closely as they write
