Federal proposals, climate adaptation planning, and community development for Indigenous, Tribal, and rural organizations.
I'm Jarred Haynes, principal consultant of Field & Flow LLC, based in Portland, Maine. My work bridges community wisdom with institutional readiness — guiding Tribal, nonprofit, and rural organizations through funding strategy, climate planning, and community development.
I bring a people-first approach to every project, meeting stakeholders where they are and designing processes grounded in close observation, active listening, and deep respect for place. Strategy means little without concrete action — and action begins with understanding who will drive change and how.
My academic background in sustainable development, combined with graduate fieldwork across four continents and active consulting experience with Alaska Native Tribal communities, informs an approach that is as analytically rigorous as it is community-centered.
Full-cycle consulting from funding strategy through project delivery — tailored to the scale and culture of each organization.
Competitive federal, state, and philanthropic proposals from opportunity identification through submission.
Locally grounded climate vulnerability and adaptation plans for Tribal and rural communities.
Supporting the creation and assessment of programs with built-in frameworks for learning and accountability.
Translating complex programmatic work into clear, compelling content that moves stakeholders to action.
"My mission is to design thoughtful solutions that are as sustainable as they are actionable."
Every project begins with close observation and active listening — not assumptions.
Solutions are tailored to their context — cultural, ecological, and institutional.
Strategy without implementation is just planning. The goal is concrete, measurable change.
Outcomes that outlast the project — through skills transfer, systems, and community ownership.
Available for federal and philanthropic grant writing, climate adaptation planning, and strategic consulting engagements. Remote-first with capacity for on-site work.
