Meet The Team

Jorden Anderson, GPC, is the Founder and President of Jorden Anderson Consulting, a national grant writing and consulting firm launched in Arizona in 2020 and now based in Texas. Committed to supporting nonprofits with limited budgets and small teams, she has guided organizations across the U.S. to secure more than $30 million in competitive grant funding. Her firm offers end-to-end service, from grant strategy and opportunity research to persuasive proposals and post-award support, designed to foster long-term sustainability and impact. A queer, first-generation founder, Jorden brings a powerful blend of personal insight and academic rigor. She earned a bachelor’s in Social Work, dual master’s degrees in Social Work and Public Administration, and a Certificate in LGBTQIA+ Studies, all from Arizona State University, and also holds a Certificate in Human Services Management from the Network for Social Work Management. Jorden has been professionally mentored by Dr. Bev Browning, a prolific author and nationally respected grant writing expert who has published nearly 48 grant-related works, including seven editions of Grant Writing For Dummies. Jorden is also among fewer than 50 professionals in Texas—and just 634 nationwide—to hold the Grant Professional Certified (GPC) credential, a distinction that recognizes her nationally respected expertise. Through her work, Jorden empowers nonprofits to overcome funding unpredictability and focus on what matters most: delivering meaningful impact in the communities they serve.
