“Ruthie was amazing and did a wonderful job coordinating our grant proposal. It was a pleasure to work with her and hope we can again in the future.”

Janice Sword Way, President, Leadership Kentucky

I am grateful to both Lisa and Ruthie for their guidance, patience and dedication in helping to identify funding sources and crafting quality proposals for our organization.  We are a small office with limited staffing resources.  Lisa and Ruthi are highly skilled and resourceful.  I especially appreciate how they lessen the stress by providing answers to questions I didn’t even know to ask.  They’re attention to the details is just one of their many strengths.
