They did all this in the space of less than 10 weeks with Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays in between. We could not have managed it without their help.”

Arlene Ajami, United Way of Western Connecticut

“Patrice, thank you for all of the work you did to shepard this process. You were consistently calm and wise even when grants.gov was infuriating. Your knowledge of the federal grants process was invaluable. We could not have put together this quality of proposal on our own. Thank you for all of the care and attention you put into the myriad forms and all of our budgets. Having you there to answer questions and talk things through was incredibly helpful to me and made this process so much more manageable than if we had to try to do this on our own. Please thank the rest of your team for us.”
