Libby Hikind is the founder, president and CEO of GrantWatch.com.

Libby Hikind, a national grants expert, began her career as a teacher in the New York City Department of Education, where she taught for nearly 30 years.  During her teaching career, Libby wrote a number of grants for her classroom and later went on to raise 11 million dollars for a Brooklyn school district.

While teaching in Staten Island, Libby continued to raise funds for the local elementary school and the community.  This led her to establish her own grant writing agency in 1994, and the 1999 to 2001 publication of NYC GrantWatch, a grants fax newsletter for nonprofit organizations. Libby is credited with more than 46,000 children receiving health insurance as a result of her coalition building of nonprofits and her writing of the first Staten Island Child Health Plus proposal.
