For six years, she also ran GrantCraft, a free service that taps the practical wisdom of funders to improve the collective knowledge of the philanthropy field.

Previously, Jen has enjoyed giving money in her work at a private foundation, negotiating money in her work for the IRS, and budgeting money in her work as a client advocate.
