Tessa Chandler

I work in funding development, compliance, and reporting, with a focus on making systems run smoothly and efficiently. My experience includes researching and writing grants, managing awards, and maintaining compliance with federal and state rules. I’ve supported both nonprofits and Tribal governments in building reliable processes for tracking funds, reporting outcomes, and preparing for audits.

A big part of my work involves cleaning up and reorganizing data systems, optimizing workflows, and helping teams move from paper-based or outdated tools into streamlined digital platforms. I like creating structure where things feel messy and finding simple ways to keep programs accountable, transparent, and easy to manage.

I’ve helped organizations secure and manage more than six million dollars in funding while improving their data accuracy, reporting speed, and overall compliance readiness.
