Jennifer Grogan

As Director of Client Services, Jennifer is integral to the firm's success, supporting client onboarding, reporting, administration, and project coordination while leading LNE Group's private-foundation grant work. She helps nonprofits and mission-driven organizations identify prospective funders, develop competitive grant requests, and build relationships that can support their work over the long term.

Jennifer's approach to client support is rooted in her earlier campaign experience. Before moving into client services and grant development, she worked on municipal and state campaigns, where success required understanding an audience, communicating an issue clearly, and motivating people to act. She carried those skills into LNE Group's campaign practice, developing outreach materials, organizing grassroots initiatives, and helping build community support around local issues.

Since joining LNE Group in 2019, Jennifer has become an important link across the firm's practices, supporting state and federal government affairs engagements, public funding pursuits, campaign initiatives, and the internal systems that keep client work moving.

Jennifer earned her B.A. in Government from Lawrence University, where she studied political philosophy and democratic movements across developing nations. Born on the Connecticut coast and raised in Northeast Ohio, she enjoys spending free time on and around Lake Erie: rowing, helping her crew race to victory as a coxswain, as well as recently building her own sculling catamaran. When off the water, she is an adventurous cook and a regular at Cleveland civic events.
