“Top-Notch Professionals”

“Susan and Pat are top-notch professionals at managing the development process, and are 100% dependable. Their team stepped in at a critical juncture in our organizational growth, during a key leadership transition.  Thanks to their expertise in grant writing and managing our extensive grant portfolio, our organization maintained its fundraising momentum. The team is adept at clear, concise communication, in-depth grant writing, juggling and tracking myriad sites and organizational metrics, and deadline-driven grant reporting. I'm grateful for the support and expertise they bring to the table!”
—Alison Mundy, Former Director of Development, Family Independence Initiative

“Depth of knowledge”

"Susan and her team have a depth of knowledge of the nonprofit sector and social services that are rare among fund development consultants…. I engaged Susan and her team to write a proposal to the California Board of State and Community Corrections to fund rehabilitative programs. Our successful proposal was ranked second out of 58 applicants. I am happy to recommend Susan Kleinman Wallis Consulting for complex government grants as well as nonprofit capacity building related to fund development."

"Susan has provided enormous value to our organization with her expert knowledge of the foundation giving landscape, her superior writing skills and timeline management. She is a consummate professional and maintains well organized and timely communications. Her personable, flexible and warm style makes her a joy to work with."
—Liana Bender, Development Director, California Film Institute

“Passion and Joy”

"Susan's knowledge and background in foundation work combined with her writing skills have been incredibly helpful, but it is her passion and attitude that make it such a joy to work with her. Susan takes the time to understand programming and artistic direction well enough to be able to succinctly represent it. Her attention to detail and organizational skills have been exactly what we needed to get on track and her constant research for new opportunities is guiding us toward future successes."
