Your Team Lead in Grant Success:

RMC CEO & FOUNDER,
Shannon Egan

Shannon Egan, a woman in long-term recovery since January 2011, founded RMC out of a deep passion for helping others who, like her, have faced the challenges of addiction and the criminal justice system.

 

After multiple arrests for driving under the influence, Shannon finally obtained sobriety in January 2011. Since then, she has devoted her life to empowering addiction recovery organizations nationwide.

 

She is now an expert grant writer and has secured nearly $15 million in funding for recovery-focused nonprofits, helping to drive meaningful change and expand critical recovery support services.​
