"Working with Christine has truly ELAVATED our fundraising!
...One of the most impactful grants Christine has helped our organization secure was the new furniture for our original homes."
She dives in and gets to know the heart and purpose behind your organization and utilizes that understanding to emphasize the magnitude of your requests. Conveying intention and the heart of the organization can get lost in all the formalities and numbers. Christine’s intricate and intimate knowledge of both the grant writing processes and her clients allow her to effectively communicate that information to funders.
One of the most impactful grants Christine has helped our organization secure was the new furniture for our original homes. We are a nonprofit that provides group home services for adults with intellectual disabilities. Our original campus homes were built over 20 years ago and still had the original furniture. Long overdue to be replaced, we sought Christine’s help. The pure joy and excitement it brought our folks to see the cozy upgrades Christine’s services produced was absolutely priceless. Christine provides an invaluable service and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

"She continually thinks outside the box, going above and beyond what one might expect."
I have had the great honor of working with Christine on a
number of projects. Christine and I met when she was the Executive Director of a board on which I served (later serving as president ) I additionally worked with her on another project recently. I had such success, we teamed up again for the second time since serving together on the first board. Her dedication, her professionalism and her organization are unlike that of anyone I know.
​
I have witnessed her navigate difficult situations with ease.
She continually thinks outside the box, going above and beyond what one might expect. I consider her a mentor and friend. Any organization should consider themselves lucky to have her in their corner. I can confidently say she is the gold standard in her field.
