Eunice Lara-Castañeda
@eunicelara-castaeda
I build donor narratives, grant proposals, and cultural communications that turn community impact into support.
MexicoWhat I'm looking for
I've led donor communications and grant writing at Mercado Global, producing donor reports, artisan spotlights, grant proposals, newsletters, translations, and partner narratives for a nonprofit advancing Indigenous women's economic empowerment in Guatemala.
My work connects cultural practice, institutional strategy, and public storytelling. At Auditorio Nacional, I led PR for MONDIACULT 2022 with UNESCO representatives and delegations from 160+ countries, expanded Metropolitan Opera Live in HD editorial adaptations across Mexico, and supported a 40% increase in premium suite sales through partnership and sponsorship strategy.
I've also secured and managed institutional funding for international cultural projects, translated literary novels, and published literary and cultural journalism.
