Bridging Passion with Purpose
Welcome to AIM Grant Specialists, where we connect nonprofits with the funding they need to change the world. I’m Amy Cobb, and my journey in the nonprofit sector spans over 25 years—driven by a deep-seated belief that we can, together, make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.
My Story
My passion for working with nonprofits began in childhood, instilled in me at a young age with a deep sense of compassion and a commitment to helping those in need. That early calling has guided my career, leading me to specialize in nonprofit fundraising through grant writing, major gifts, capital campaigns, and large-scale events.
What sets my approach apart is my unique perspective on philanthropy. Having worked on both sides of the funding process—as a fundraiser securing critical resources and as a grant-maker awarding funding—I bring an informed insight to nonprofit fundraising development. I understand what funders look for, how to position organizations for success, and how to build lasting relationships that lead to long-term sustainability.
Over the years, I’ve helped more than 30 nonprofit organizations raise millions of dollars, driving impact for causes I deeply care about—animal welfare, children’s services, and veterans’ charities.
Why AIM?
AIM represents our core philosophy: we help organizations Achieve Impact through Mission-driven funding. But it’s more than an acronym—it’s about precision, purpose, and direction. Just as an archer carefully aims to hit the target, we take deliberate, focused action to connect your mission with the right funders.
Our Mission
AIM secures critical funding for nonprofit organizations by providing significant connections between funders and charities through grant research, writing, and management, creating sustainable, reliable funding streams for nonprofits who are changing the world.
Integrity
We ensure every proposal is transparent, truthful, and aligned with funder and client expectations. Ethical grant writing and accurate reporting safeguard credibility and lead to long-term funding success.
Impact-Driven
Grant funding should create real, measurable change. We focus not just on securing grants but on ensuring the funding leads to sustainable, community-driven outcomes that make a lasting difference.
Excellence
With nonprofits competing for limited funding, we maintain exceptional quality in research, writing, and grant management, ensuring every proposal stands out and meets the highest standards expected by funders.
Collaboration
We work alongside you, combining your mission expertise with our funding knowledge to create proposals that authentically represent your organization’s vision and impact.
My Vision
Together, we can protect children, save animals, and transform lives. Many tell us, “You can’t save them all, so just do what you can.” But this isn’t a solo journey—it’s our collective mission. Our world has countless passionate individuals who have formed charitable organizations capable of creating meaningful change together. While the challenge seems insurmountable, by combining our skills, experience, drive, and expertise, we can bridge the gap between those doing the vital work and those with the resources to support it. This isn’t just one person’s marathon—it’s our shared commitment to building a better world, step by step, hand in hand.
