“Melissa is a tremendous benefit to our organization and to me personally. I have worked with her for over 8 years. She is far and away the most effective grant writer I have worked with in all the time we have been pursuing grants. She is efficient, knowledgeable, able to individualize her approach and writing to match with our organization style. She is innovative, and researches options for Oak Grove which I don’t personally have the time to do. Her efforts in research have allowed us to pursue opportunities I would otherwise not have been aware of. We tag team very well. Due to how effective she has been we have been able to expand the impact of our mission and better meet the needs of the at-risk and special needs children and youth we serve. I would highly recommend Melissa.”

“Melissa at Written for You is the consummate professional. She worked with me as our grant writer at two different non-profits-a small grassroots start-up and a multi-million dollar 25-year-old agency. Her competency and excellence in collaboration were wonderful. I really appreciate her upfront honesty about your situation regarding for what type of grants you should be applying. So much so that I’ve referred her to several other agencies over the past eight years.”

“Melissa is extremely easy to work with! She is very thoughtful and strategic in her approach to researching potential funders for your organization and will talk over the pros and cons with the Executive Director. It feels like a true development partnership and I know she is always on the lookout for other opportunities that can benefit the youth that we serve. She is timely in responding to phone calls and emails and will make revisions quickly as well when needed. I love the updated grants calendar that she keeps which helps me to stay on track as well.”
