Sigorney Dorsey
DeaRonda's coaching has really helped me understand much more about the Grant Writing field! The value of her resources and insights on writing, best practices for managing the grant cycle, and firsthand experiences she shared in building skills as a grant writer have far exceeded both my expectation and my investment for her services. It was also a blessing to connect with her from the unique perspective of a grant writer of color, and I feel much more confident stepping into the field armed with both the tools and insights to succeed. DeaRonda was genuine and communicative, and I'm grateful to have had the chance to connect!

DeaRonda was such a great help. She provided me with ways to make my grant writing stronger and detailed oriented, an area I struggle with a lot. I now feel more confident and ready to submit our yearly deliverables. She also helped me create some structure around my nonprofit, guiding me on how to be more productive and ways to reach my target audience. I'm excited to implement these new strategies.
