Hear From Our Clients

California State Univ Northridge
If you are looking for a super star, I found her for you. Cal State Northridge contracted Tracy to help us develop over 100 fundraising case statements for giving to annual fund projects for our new online giving web platform with a tight timeline. She expertly balanced multiple writing projects and independently sourced information across all of our colleges and program areas. She was so friendly and professional in her outreach to faculty to acquire additional content and validation, some thought she had worked for our university for years! She kept me clearly informed at each stage of the project and has an incredible talent for capturing the essence of our philanthropic culture and spinning it into an engaging message.

If you are looking for somebody who truly understands higher education communications and how to capture donor interest and attention in her writing, I highly recommend Tracy.

It was lovely to work with Tracy. Our team threw a lot at her—and fast!—and she kept up. She asked smart questions, quickly absorbed and implemented our strategy, and showed a high level of patience and professionalism with shifting deadlines and complex projects.

YMCA of the USA (Y-USA)
I have had the pleasure of working with Tracy for nearly five years, and in that time, she has helped our organization raise more than $88 million.  From the very beginning, working with Tracy was like working with someone who has been my colleague for years.  Even though she works with multiple clients, it always feels to us that she gives our work and needs special, exclusive attention.

The ease with which Tracy translates complex issues and programs into proposals that are clear, concise, and compelling is remarkable.  She has provided grant-writing support to several different project teams within our organization.  In every instance, she has shown herself to be a master at building productive working relationships with people that have very different personalities, skill sets and comfort levels with proposal development.  I admire Tracy’s steadfast work ethic and professionalism, and consider her to be an invaluable part of my team.  I would not hesitate to recommend her to any organization in need of top-notch, comprehensive grant writing services.

American Heart Association
I’ve worked with Tracy at two different organizations (Feeding America and the American Heart Association) and am well-acquainted with her finely-honed writing and editing skills, her professionalism, and her ability to work well under the tightest of deadlines.

With more than a decade of experience working in nonprofits, Tracy is easily able to translate complex subject matter into understandable language for donors, highlighting the impact of their philanthropy and providing meaningful materials that keep donors informed and engaged in the institution’s mission. Her donor profiles are some of the best examples of inspirational writing that I’ve encountered in the 20+ years that I’ve been in my field.

Tracy is highly organized, thoughtful in her approach to topics and people, and turns assignments around quickly. I recommend her highly if your organization is looking for a trusted partner and a respected writer/editor.
