Meet Our Founder:

Maria Murray is a grant fundraising expert serving community hospitals and clinics across Texas. As a former grantmaker turned fundraiser, she helps rural healthcare organizations unlock new funding from foundations and private donors—bringing in millions to support operations and expand services. With years of experience on both sides of the funding process, Maria understands exactly what funders are looking for and how to position organizations for success. She partners closely with healthcare leaders to identify opportunities, craft compelling proposals, and build sustainable funding strategies that strengthen care for our rural communities.

Working with Maria over the past eighteen months has been an exceptional experience for our team at Hendrick Health. From the start, Maria brought a clear vision and well‑defined strategy to help us navigate the often complex world of grant writing. Her strong persuasive writing skills consistently helped us present compelling, well‑structured proposals that resonated with funders. Maria’s deep understanding of grant applications and processes allowed her to guide us efficiently through each stage. Thanks to Maria’s expertise, organization, and strategic insight, Hendrick Health has significantly strengthened its grant writing capacity and positioned itself to pursue funding opportunities with confidence.
