Regeanie Corona

Regeanie Corona is CEO of Advanced Business Strategies, LLC., a consulting firm who specializes in strategic planning and grant writing services, with a special emphasis on helping local government and nonprofit leaders develop strategic plans to build healthy communities and address issues of equity for underserved individuals.  She consults and teaches cross-sector collaboration and partnerships based on the Collective Impact Model as a way to successfully bring forth social innovation locally and globally.  

While she has spent the past 3 years navigating the NPO (nonprofit) space, community development, and public policy, her first career was in the Information Technology field.  She spent 25 years pursuing an IT career, which included running the Security and Business Recovery Division where she was responsible for IT Security and Business Recovery, including security operations, network security, and risk management and compliance for Los Angeles County’s digital infrastructure and data centers. 

Also known by many as The Grant Strategist™, Regeanie coaches and prepares local governments and NPO’s to seek and receive grant funding.  She is driven by a desire to help others, especially grassroots nonprofits, identify sound strategies to build and grow their operations so that they can successfully deliver critical services to the communities that they serve.

In 2015, Regeanie and her husband founded Advancing The Seed, Inc. (ATS), a California-based 501(c)3 whose vision is to remove barriers, create opportunities and build healthy communities.  Their mission is to advance the economic stability of individuals by coaching, training and developing for a skilled workforce.  ATS provides life group coaching, leadership development, career pathway coaching, financial education training, civic engagement training, mentoring, public policy and advocacy training, and community development experiences for low-income and underserved populations, especially youth and young adults with societal barriers (homelessness, teen parents, emancipated foster youth, etc.), as well as, women.  

ATS seeks to empower those individuals who have been traditionally underrepresented by bringing forth opportunities to help create equity that can lead to economic empowerment for all, regardless of current socio-economic status
