The education we have gotten from working with Page Consulting has matured our approach and process for fundraising. Page Consulting handles the difficult task of organizing the staff to follow up with and reach out to the potential funders.

Page Consulting provided us with a stellar and experienced team who helped us identify and then navigate the requirements of a variety of foundations, and then helped us stay on task and build customized and compelling case statements and LOI’s. They are consummate professionals who epitomize what it means to be effective consultants, true partners and as an added benefit are extremely nice to work with.
Further, with their help we established a link to a number of funding agencies we did not have previous exposure to.

We have been very pleased with our relationship with Page Consulting. As a small non-profit, we do not have grant-writing staff, which limits our funding possibilities. Page Consulting has been instrumental in creating our grant calendar and surfacing several new opportunities. They also wrote our Case Statement and have helped with writing a draft and completing multiple grants over the past year.
We have been impressed with the professionalism, knowledge of the grant marketplace, and writing expertise of our main contact, Matt Swoveland. Matt understands our mission and has been able to articulate what we do and how we do it very effectively.
We recommend Page Consulting!

The Greater Lansing Food Bank has worked with Page Consulting for a little more than a year. This was one of the best decisions we have made! Sonya’s talents, writing abilities, and grasp of the grant writing process attracted our team and we know we made the right choice in deciding to work with her.
Sonya is extremely talented, results-focused, and is one of the best writers I have ever encountered. From strategy to execution, she keeps our grant calendar on track and moving forward, not an easy task when we have growing annual funding needs alongside a capital campaign. Sonya is now an important and respected part of the team at the Greater Lansing Food Bank.

We had a clear goal when we began our work with Page Consulting: to try to increase our fundraising revenue. Foundation fundraising was an area we hadn’t explore before, so we didn’t even know where to start.
Having access to Page Consulting’s knowledge of how the industry works has been huge for us. They performed a landscape analysis to make sure that there were funders in our area who could be interested in our work. They did the research, translated it into an easily understood format, and worked with us to shape proposal narratives that are true to our mission and goals while being compelling to funders. Because of our work together, we know that there is sufficient interest out there from foundations to hear from us and that we are communicating with them in the right way. In less than a year of work together, we are already seeing real results in our fundraising revenue.
As a nonprofit CEO, I appreciate that Sonya and Martina never waste my time. They are the right amount of directive, let me know what they need, and take care of the rest. They took the time to get to know Komen New England inside and out, and have a strong understanding of who we are, so I am confident in the way they represent us.

Teaming up with Page Consulting has been such a wonderful experience! The work Sonya did for us has had exponentially positive impacts on our small nonprofit organization. As a start-up nonprofit, I needed a great deal of guidance regarding fundraising and development. Sonya knew exactly where to start and quickly began gathering information for prospective funding sources personalized for our location and specialty. She had extensive knowledge on which Foundations and Grants would be most in line with our mission and the most effective way to format our asks based on the giving history and requirements of the Foundations. Sonya wrote the cover letters and applications and organized all the required documentation for us; handing me neat, ordered, application packages, all ready to be submitted. Sonya also prepared a calendar for us that outlined the grants we had already applied for as well as a schedule of asks for the next 18 months (including deadlines, contacts and helpful hints), making this a very organized and streamlined process. When opening a nonprofit organization, there are so many things to focus on and so many things that need to get done. Knowing that Sonya was building us the development foundation that we needed to get started and grow from, gave me the confidence and peace I needed, allowing me to focus on the many other tasks at hand. Now, I am able to build on this strong foundation and apply for grants on my own using Sonya’s documents as a guide. She not only brought in funding for us, she taught me how to be more self-sufficient and sustainable which is essential for nonprofits in the early stages. I can’t even express my satisfaction and gratitude to Sonya! She worked with me on my level and never asked me to do things out of my comfort zone, which made this process much less daunting. Sonya has such a calm and encouraging demeanor that brings assurance and results! She is extremely knowledgeable and competent and has provided me with the resources and tools I need to have a successful nonprofit. I highly recommend Page Consulting to any nonprofit organization!

Sonya brings intelligence, enthusiasm and organization to complex development projects based on a noteworthy depth of experience working with institutional funders. Toward completing a large proposal for my organization, in one instance, Sonya successfully corralled faculty leadership from multiple departments and gained consensus in a way in which every voice felt heard. Her writing is cogent—she is able to make sound, compelling cases for support while anticipating and addressing potential concerns from funders. Sonya’s partnership has led my team to look beyond the annual grants calendar and to seek opportunities that are multidisciplinary, complex and aspirational. In addition to her direct fundraising experience, Sonya is an engaging teacher and worked to bring new staff up to speed through her well-developed curriculum and expertise. Her style is approachable and collaborative—she is responsive and strategic in her communication style. I always trust that she will move a project forward and meet every deadline. I welcome further opportunity to engage Page Consulting.
