Grant Fundraising
It was a joy to read your grant. ~ U.S. Office of Head Start Program Officer
“I’m so glad I got to work with you on the OHA Measure 110 grant. It was such a good experience and I felt so comfortable with you and also trusted you so very much. I can get a good read on people and I KNEW from our first meeting you were IT!” ~ Melissa Jones, Director, Stabbin’ Wagon
Andi is excellent at vetting opportunities against the mission of the organization to determine which grants have the greatest chance of success, and is very strategic in their approach to fundraising. I would suggest having a conversation with Andi to see if there is potential for a relationship there. They are based in Eugene but easy to work with remotely. ~ Joan Amaratti, Development Officer

Education & Training
Andi’s help was invaluable to our team. They were mindful not to feed us ideas or take away from our ownership of the assessments while also providing helpful advice in all regards. I very much appreciated Andi’s calm demeanor and professionalism at all times. I felt very well supported. – UO Nonprofit Clinic Student
Andi did a great job at monitoring each of us and intervening or offering extra help when Andi knew we were at a breaking point. I could tell Andi often held back or restraining from offering advice or insight when we were struggling through a learning moment, which I appreciated and I know that’s hard to do. – UO Nonprofit Clinic Student
I just received my ACT score and got a 33, which is 2 points higher than my target score! I had such a great experience with the ScoreBeyond program. – JM
