About the Team

Words from Our Clients

''I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for providing probably the best course I have attended for grant writing. I have attended several over my 5 year tenure here at VIND and this, by far, has provided so much more than I ever expected. Partnering with KOVIR was a gift for all of us to learn and take back something from each weeks session. Again, I thank you all for everything.''

Terry VIND

''Working with Marie was an absolute pleasure! She was very open to feedback and was happy to accept even very minor critiques. Agencies are lucky to have Marie - she is dedicated to the company's mission and values and provides a friendly, professional face for the company.''

Michelle Manatee Literacy Council

''In our conference call with Marie today, we laid out our 40-year-old organization's complex history of fundraising, hoping for her perspective and advice. Marie asked insightful questions, helped us see that our dilemmas are universal struggles that many non-profits face, and suggested we focus on a few particular directions. She can gently cut to the chase on each topic and guide a discussion so people feel encouraged and energized. A generous spirit offering whole-hearted support for those of us working in the non-profit world.''

Tracey Manatee Literacy Council

''Thank you for the information and feedback. We will be routing all grant applications to your office about two weeks before they are due to allow for review, them to be returned and needed updates to be made.''

ShaakiraNASA Osiris-REX Researcher, K-12 STEAM Director

''Thank you so much for the feedback. I think that is such a great service, especially when we read and re-read our proposals and our eyes get cross-eyed; a fresh set of eyes would be so helpful. Marie, I thoroughly enjoined the training and how you presented the information. It made sense to a non-grant writer and was easy to follow and understand. Thank you.''
