Bio
Lindsay C. Martin
I’ve had the pleasure of working for Valerie as part of her dynamic Grant Consulting Services team. It’s clear that Valerie knows and understands the grant writing industry. She stays on top of trends and developments so her clients consistently get comprehensive and quality service. As soon as COVID became a reality, Valerie quickly became abreast of the various forms of emergency funding available. Due to her quick action, Grant Consulting Services was successful in securing many funds (both private and government) on behalf of her clients. Valerie has the ability to juggle many clients and proposals, while also giving each one the attention and dedication they deserve. She is hard-working, diligent, resourceful, thinks outside of the box, and has mad writing skills.

Valerie helped us organize, develop and submit a grant proposal request to several different foundations on behalf of my children's school. Valerie was very detailed and thorough in her work and helped us unterstand the "ins and outs" associated with obtaining grants from foundations. Valerie was very helpful to the school in submitting the grant requests.
