In episode 761 of The Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show, we’re diving into the world of grant writing and nonprofit success with Iva Brown, CEO of Motivating Factors, LLC  and Miata Powell, Marketing Director. With over two decades of experience in nonprofit leadership, government programs, and multi-million dollar budgets, Iva breaks down what it really takes to secure grant funding and build impact-driven organizations.


Since 2012, I’ve been the CEO of Motivating Factors, LLC. My business helps individuals and organizations reach their highest potential. For 9 years I worked for Virginia Commonwealth University, managing an HIV/AIDS program. I worked for housing and homeless non-profit organizations for 15 years, where I served as Director of Operations and Director of Housing. I currently work for the state of Virginia, where I direct the State Opioid Response Program. In that role, I am responsible for an annual budget of $27 million and manage a team of 4 people.

In my spare time, I love riding sports motorcycles (Suzuki Hayabusa) and watching sports with my Fiancé, Mont, hanging with my 2 adult daughters Miata and Catera, and caring for my beloved kitty, Ms. Munchie.

I am a graduate of the University of Richmond and I’m finishing a Master’s in human service counseling at Liberty University.
