Johanna Tatlow, the principal of Tatlow Global Consulting, grew up in Diyarbakir, Turkey, back in the 1990s when the mainly Kurdish region was in the “developing world” category. She moved to the US for college, where she’s lived since, except for occasional long work trips and visits abroad. Johanna has worked primarily with nonprofits since 2011 and has secured $15 million + (as of 2023) in funding for international development organizations.

Johanna has a Master of Development Practice from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. She launched her international development career at Shelter for Life International, a small NGO. After working with them intermittently as both an in-house employee and a remote contractor for program management and grant writing, Johanna broadened her consultancy practice to assist other small and mid-size NGOs obtain funding for sustainable programs. She enjoys the flexibility this provides while raising her son. Johanna is based in Charlotte, NC, and now owns and leads Tatlow Global Consulting.

Testimonials

  • Johanna was an invaluable part of our proposal team. She helped us manage multiple proposals to USDA Food for Progress and McGovern-Dole on a tight timeline. She is very skilled at managing personalities and working with limited data. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
