Larry Crane’s Summary
I am passionate about growing businesses that improve the quality of people's lives.
An active member of the American Association of Grant Professionals and the National Grantwriters Association, I have served as an Executive Director, Development Director and Grant Manager for community and faith-based organizations and for a large nonprofit healthcare system.
In 2004, I was inspired to launch prolifica.org as a grant consulting firm that equips nonprofit organizations with the resources and strategies to achieve outcomes that improve the quality of life.
In December 2007, I was engaged full-time to serve as the Project Director of a federally funded study to prepare a 10 county region for the population surge coming as a result of mission growth at Fort Benning, Georgia.
