“Dear Donor was highly recommended when our department was short-staffed and we had one large, somewhat complicated grant that we wanted to pursue.  

Well, one grant quickly turned into five grants! I was consistently impressed by her expertise, professionalism, and ability to secure funding for our organization. ”
— Teresa Cummins, Senior Grants Analyst, Cherry Creek School District (Greenwood Village, Colorado)
 
“One of Amanda’s strengths is that she deftly navigates between envisioning the big picture and getting into the weeds to bring this vision to life. She loves to dig into a project, using her creativity to explore how to expand and improve upon it.”
— Sarah Bridich, former Board President, New Legacy Charter School (Aurora, Colorado)

“I wear many hats and there are so many pieces to running a successful nonprofit. Hiring Dear Donor was the best decision we ever could have made! The quality of coaching, writing, and other tips have been exceptional. It was definitely money well spent! Thank you for your knowledge and expertise and for letting me breathe a bit. It has opened my eyes to the areas that need more attention and helped us begin to implement those changes. All of it together makes us a stronger nonprofit!”

She worked smoothly between internal and external stakeholders which were diverse in demographics. The expression ‘wise beyond her years’ comes to mind.”
