About Beth Brandon Jensen
Founder of Sunflower GrantsBefore I was a grant writer, I was producing reality TV—chasing stories, shaping narratives, and learning how to grab an audience in seconds. Now, I use those same instincts to help nonprofits stand out and get funded.
As the founder of Sunflower Grants, I blend creativity with strategy to lead a team of grant writers who partner with organizations ready to grow. We don’t just fill out forms. We listen. We dig deep. Then we craft clear, compelling proposals that reflect each nonprofit’s strengths and spark funder interest.
Grant writing can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to. With years of experience and a 66% win rate, I guide clients through the process from start to finish, simplifying the complex and turning strong ideas into sustainable funding.

Lead Project Manager
Tiernan Seaver is a nonprofit professional who has dedicated her career to supporting organizations creating change from the ground up. Working alongside nonprofits across the United States and internationally for over a decade, she brings hands-on experience in program development, grant writing, and organizational strategy. Her academic foundation as a Master of Social Work graduate from San Diego State University, specializing in Nonprofit Administration, is complemented by her certification as a Grant Writer and membership in the Global Grant Writers Collective.
The intersection of purpose and passion defines Tiernan's journey. In 2021, she made a bold decision to leave her steady nonprofit job and embark on a transformative journey down the Pan-American highway, surfing her way from San Diego to Panama. A desire to stay connected to meaningful work led Tiernan to begin freelancing as a grant writer while on the road. What began as a travel-funding side gig blossomed into a nonprofit consulting business, Swell Solutions—the perfect synthesis of her worlds, helping community organizations catch their wave of opportunity while embracing the nomadic spirit of a surfer.
Bilingual in English and Spanish, with extensive experience working in Latin American communities, Tiernan brings a unique cultural competence to her work. Her approach is defined by industry expertise, a commitment to continuous learning, and a deep-rooted humility that places client organizations at the center of their own transformation.
