“We engaged Sue to help us in our fundraising efforts in the UK. Dream a Dream is a charitable organization based out of Bangalore, India. We setup a UK fundraising office in 2013 and were looking to build our support base from Foundations in the UK. We engaged Sue in 2016 to help us research and apply for grants to foundations in the UK which had an interest in children and international development. Sue was meticulous and thorough in her research and recommended a set of interesting foundations for us to seek support from along with insights on what our approach should be. Sue also helped us prepare Letters of Interest and Request for Support applications for the short-listed foundations.
Sue helped us gain much needed insight on how we should frame our applications, taught us to align our language to the areas of focus of the potential donor and helped us build a crisp, concise and clear messaging of our work and impact. Sue worked with Dream a Dream’s fundraising team and helped us understand the nuances of proposal writing, shared her own experiences of what makes a good proposal and was an excellent coach. Her inputs were extremely valuable to enhancing our skills, improve the quality of our proposals and be more articulate in our messaging.
Sue is a remarkable consultant, fundraiser and coach. She is thorough, detail-oriented and deeply invested in her client’s success. She is experienced, well-versed with how donors think and brings the donor perspective in a client’s thinking and approach to proposal writing. She is a valuable resource for any non-profit.”
