Testimonials
"YWCA revenue has grown annually
in each of the last 5 years since Karen Ashmore has helped us with
our foundation and corporate grants. Karen is knowledgeable about the
grantmaking world, savvy in her strategy and approach to funders, and
a top notch writer!
Karen's work has made a real difference in the YWCA's bottom line."
—Janet L. Beardsley, Executive Director, YWCA of Boulder County,
Boulder, Colorado.
"Our organization had no consistent
funding until Karen Ashmore directed our efforts. Now, there is a funding
base supporting our work and our vision for the days to come. Karen's
involvement with RAIN Colorado is a great encouragement in these days
of economic challenge."
—Rev. David Cooper, Regional AIDS Interfaith Network
(RAIN) Colorado
"Karen Ashmore's services have
been key to our success and expansion. Her grant writing capability
has secured us significant grants from two of the largest foundations
in Colorado, the Rose Community Foundation and Daniels Fund. She has
also established relationships and secured substantial funding from
government agencies such as the Colorado Department of Public Health.
Karen is easy to work with and clues in very quickly to the needs of
a particular organization."
—Bill Michaels, Executive Director, Family Resource Center
Association Inc.

asset to the YW and a great help to the Board. Besides, I enjoy just
being in your company."
