What Our Clients Are Saying
"Deneene's eye towards strategy, priority setting and the comprehensive way in which she approached the work not only helped greatly in the short term, but also allowed for a solid foundation to build a grants program within our organization. We were able to maintain current funders, realize new funders, and have a structure in place for a new person taking on full time role. Deneene knows the local and national funding entities extremely well, is an exceptional writer and has energy, responsiveness and timeliness.”
Denise Fosse, Senior Director of Development
“Deneene is an extremely knowledgeable and talented grant pro. Our complicated grants - government and foundation - were maintained without disruption through staff transitions thanks to Deneene's services. I cannot recommend Deneene highly enough. She is the best in the business and we would absolutely work with her again. She is a pleasure to work with.”
Andrea Chapman, Director of Resource Development
"I received help with LOI's, a review of several grants I had written, an updated prospects list, and advice to seek local funding. Deneene is very personable and warm. She understands the grant landscape in Minnesota."
Dawn Pape, Executive Director
“I learned some valuable grant-writing techniques from Deneene and have been able to use them in own grant writing. I also have continued to interact with Deneene in various capacities and just enjoy her happy, professional and robust personality. She is a respected part of our non-profit community in Rochester!”
Jackie Benoit-Petrich, Executive Director
