A foundation representative just called and said our application [that Laura wrote] was 'the best proposal I've read - EVER!'

Sarah Kennedy, Senior Director of Development, Inspirica

There is no way we would be able to navigate the nuances of a federal grant under such a short timeframe without Laura! Her dedication and attention to detail are second to none!

Kent Doughty, CEO, oneHealth

When you are seeking a grantwriter who researches, consults and completes the work with collaboration and competency, ask for Laura Rhodes. During a time when nonprofits need competent and reasonable expert grantwriters/ consultants, we found the best in Laura.

Dr. Gladys Robinson, Executive Director, Piedmont Health Services

I can't say enough about all the positive outcomes that Laura has brought to our organization. She's written amazing grants that have been critical to expanding our organization. She's helped me strengthen my  writing and improve my communication and contact with individual donors. She's also just truly a joy to talk to and work with.

Kelsie Severson, Director of Development, Mountain Home Montana

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

If you have the privilege of working with Laura and Third Sector Consulting, it is my wholehearted belief that you will see the positive impact not only in your development department, but in your organization as a whole.

Jenna Taylor, Executive Director, Child Bridge

Laura's workshop was like 'Grant Writing for Dummies' without making the attendees feel 'dumb.'

Amanda Boerboom, Executive Director, Eagle Mount Billings

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

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 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

When the foundation called to tell us we had received an increased award, they said that our proposal [that Laura wrote] was hands down 'the best, the most thorough proposal. Gold star, A+!' 

Mary, Director of Donor Relations, Child Bridge

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

Erica Yaeger, Executive Director, Sci-Tech Discovery Center

Laura is simply the gold standard! If you're fortunate enough to work with her, your nonprofit will be better off. And if you are the liaison with her, you will be rewarded personally as well. A stellar human being and an expert at her craft, bar none!
