Jody Cauthen
Jody Cauthen
Grant & Funding Specialist
Hi ! I’m Jody, and I have been working in grant management as a funding and marketing specialist for over 25 years.
I have led intricate marketing and development/funding initiatives for various local non-profit organizations including The Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship, East Greensboro NOW, the Center for Creative Economy, and Triad Stage. At Integrity CE, LLC Head of Grants, I managed over $50M annually in for-profit medical education grant applications.
In the realm of academic entrepreneurship, I designed and launched the Arts Administration major and minor degree program/curriculum at UNCG and served as Program Director from 2014-2017 where I grew program enrollment 2150% in 3 years. If you want to get REALLY into the academic side of things, I hold a Masters degree in Arts Administration from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota and a BFA in Theatre Arts from Northern Kentucky University.
I have enjoyed my “side hustle” career as a nonprofit consultant until it was time to take the big swing and move my side hustle business a bit, more, um, forward hustle!
I have served as a moderator and participant in such conferences/seminars as The Association of Arts Administration Educators, Elevate, Wake Forest University Creativity Conference, The UNCG Bryan School of Business’s Entrepreneurship in the Arts forum, The Art of Public Memory Conference, Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC), and the Southern Entrepreneurship in the Arts annual conference.
In my spare time, I love to garden (more herbs and vegetables though I do love flowers), read fiction (tell me what you are reading here!) amateur chef and food anthropologist, and a lover of all things involving coffee or wine.
