About Michelle Dietz-Date

As the Grant Writer for Quilceda Community Services since October 2024, I have contributed to raising over $2 million to support the Quilceda Community Housing Initiative and the Innovation Lab @Willow Place and Roadshow. My expertise in grantsmanship, legislative advocacy, and project development has been instrumental in advancing affordable housing and critical services for vulnerable populations. With over 20 years of experience in program development, fundraising, and community relations, I have cultivated strong donor relationships and coordinated over 100 fundraising and advocacy events. My work focuses on developing sustainable, impactful programs that address community needs and promote inclusive, strength-based solutions.
