“We worked with Leah to write and submit a large, multi-year, government grant that was multifaceted and included more than a dozen partner organizations. She was incredibly organized, professional, and able to keep our diverse team on task, while bringing together sometimes disparate ideas from our staff. She supported us in a comprehensive grant-writing process resulting in a clear, strong proposal. Her knowledge of how to develop successful grants was invaluable. Leah was a skilled project manager, friendly and clear communicator, and really a joy to work with.”
