Third Sector Consulting

I have already benefited from the practical advice that Laura gave in a grant writing workshop. I emailed a foundation officer to ask a few questions and when she called me back, she gave me a few tips to make our request more likely to be successful!

Sarah DeOpsomer, Development and Programs Manager, Bozeman Public Library Foundation

Laura's done great work for our organization and I'd hire her for additional work in a second.

Gary Bloomer, Client Development Director, TechRanch

All I can say is, 'WOW!' You've got this grant writing thing down.

Erica Yaeger, Executive Director, Sci-Tech Discovery Center

Laura taught a basic grant writing class in which I was enrolled. The class was well thought out and presented. Course material was reinforced by thought-provoking writing exercises. I was impressed with Laura's depth of understanding, critical thinking and ability to convey technical information.

Larry Shotland, Board Member, Public Land/Water Access Association

Laura's prospect report was not merely a matter of her handing us a list. Because Laura cares and is conscientious, her services went above and beyond what was expected. She attended several board meetings and was professional and generous, often giving us specific suggestions that might help us with fundraising.

Chuck Peck, Board Member, Bozeman Sculpture Park

Laura is savvy at research, editing and final production. She is an excellent collaborator, bringing deep knowledge and keen insights to each project we have engaged her in. Add to these skills that she is fun to work with and you have the ideal partner for any consulting situation.

Christy Collum, Director of Development, Reading Connections

The prospect report Laura prepared for us is very well organized and has been highly researched. As a small nonprofit, this would have taken us many months to put together. Laura got this to us within two weeks with more information than we asked for or expected.

Angela Van Slyke, Marketing & Outreach Coordinator, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Gallatin County

Laura's work to help us identify foundations that may fund our work filled an important gap for us. She is professional, and her work is thorough and well researched. I have already recommended her to several other nonprofits, which speaks to my high opinion of her work and of her.

Penelope Pierce, Executive Director, Gallatin Valley Land Trust

Laura has done a great job of providing our school with the necessary tools for successful grant writing. I highly recommend her services to any organization that is looking to improve their level of fundraising.

David Bowman, Director of Development, St. David's School

Working with Laura streamlined the incredibly complex process of grant writing. She got to know our organization and projects and translated that knowledge into a clear set of steps for us to move forward and grow.

Gregg Treinish, Executive Director, Adventure Scientists

Laura's quest for excellence never fails to inspire all - whether Board of Directors, staff or volunteers - to move mountains to achieve our mission. She has a unique blend of intelligence, understanding of the broader community, humor and good common sense that combine to support the work of others.

Jennifer Gore, Executive Director, Reading Connections

I can't tell you how much your classes have taught me and how valuable they are going to be to our Chamber! Whipping our board into shape is the first item on our list and we wouldn't be able to do that in an effective way if it wasn't for you!

Keri Driggers, Membership Director, Fountain Inn Chamber of Commerce
