Grants Analyst, Grantmaking and Foundation Management

Email Savannah

As a Grants Analyst at TCC, Savannah leverages her perspective from both sides of the funding relationship, having served as a grants professional at foundations and worked on the ground with nonprofits. She seeks to advance grantmaking practices and meaningfully improve the grantee experience, guided by a belief that even small changes to the funding process can have an outsized impact for nonprofit and community partners. 

Rooted in a deep appreciation for the vital role nonprofits perform in maintaining a healthy, functioning society, Savannah is committed to being a thoughtful partner who listens closely and follows through. 

Before joining TCC Group, she served as a Grants Associate at the Terra Foundation for American Art, where she coordinated end-to-end grants management and compliance from proposal intake to fund disbursement, touching nearly every aspect of the processes. At the MacArthur Foundation, Savannah conducted a comprehensive analysis of funding strategies across prominent U.S. foundations to inform MacArthur’s own approaches. It was through this work, and her close observation of the Grants team, that she found her professional calling.
