Meet Kathleen

Hello! I'm Kathleen Torio, a passionate grant writer and social media strategist dedicated on making a positive impact for communities. I hold a Bachlors of Arts degree in English from University of California, Riverside (UCR) and a Professional Certificate in Grant Writing from San Diego State University (SDSU). I am also a member of a global grant writers collective called Learn Grant Writing.

My journey began through volunteering with multiple community organizations and nonprofits, where I managed their social media. This experience, combined with my education, helped me discover my purpose: serving various communities and making a meaningful difference in people's lives.

As a grant writer, I specialize in securing funding through meticulously crafted grant proposals and strategic fundraising efforts. As a social media strategist, I help organizations build and enhance their online presence, ensuring they effectively reach and engage their target audiences.

I love helping organizations achieve their goals by providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed.

Let's work together to bring your mission to life making a lasting impact!

Testimonials

“We have known Ms. Torio since we planned a large Filipino American festival known as the Baryo Fiesta in October 2023. When we organized a team to plan and execute the event, she was one of our organizers who worked diligently and successfully made it happen. She served as the co-chair of promotion and marketing, and recruited youth volunteers to ensure everything was in order on the day of the event. Everone who talks to her sees what a lovely person she is. I have all the confidence in the world that Ms. Torio is a good, upstanding person, and she is a tremendous asset to our organization.”
