Client testimonials attest to skill growth and sharpened focus thanks to Kim Tso<\/a>‘s grant writing guidance and expertise.<\/p>\n

Grant Writing Training and Coaching<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kim gave us the critical feedback and guidance we needed to ensure that we put our best foot forward with our funder. With her insight, our application was much better aligned with funder criteria and much stronger. Thanks Kim! \u2013 Staff at Westside Children\u2019s Center<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cKim is a very effective teacher! Her experiences are invaluable, and the interactive exercises are great.\u201d \u2013 Participant in Center for Nonprofit Management class<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Very good job breaking apart a very difficult concept to teach. I think grant writing is something all MPAs should have a general concept of \u2026 so this class was perfect. \u2013 USC graduate student<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThis has been one of the best courses I have taken here at USC. A great combination of practice and theory.\u201d \u2013 USC graduate student<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Grant Writing Services<\/span><\/h2>\n

[Kim] has been able to understand Pacoima Beautiful as an organization and the work that we do. Her writing is clear, concise and appropriate for the proposals being written. Most importantly, the proposals she writes have been accepted. The most significant awards are from the US Environmental Protection Agency and from California Endowment. Both program officers were extremely complimentary about the way the proposals were written and presented. \u2013 Marlene Grossman, Founder and former Executive Director of Pacoima Beautiful<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe overwhelming striking asset of Kim Tso is her thoughtful, measured strategic thinking. Kim\u2019s grant writing skills, of which she is peerless, have become the foundation of her work with us, but I have grown to rely on Kim for her keen guidance on executive issues as well\u2026 [H]er professional assets, keen intelligence, engaging personality and eloquence would challenge even our highest standards.\u201d \u2013 Robin M. Keefe, President and Founder of BookEnds<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>Kim Tso \u2026 combine[s] the skills of a first-rate writer with the savvy of a policy analyst and researcher. She is able to master the initial ambiguity and fragmentation inherent in the work products of complex, collaborative processes and shape them into precisely written, coherent and compelling documents. Such work necessitates a talent for quickly apprehending the structure and dynamics of the client agency, an inherent understanding of the purposes and risks of the project, stamina to see the job through the flurries of late changes, and a diplomat\u2019s gift for properly nuancing a final product. Ms. Tso demonstrates all these talents in abundance, and I\u2019d highly recommend her. \u2013 Roderick Shaner, M.D., Medical Director of the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Strategic Planning<\/span><\/h2>\n

As an emerging non-profit, we were in need of professional services to assist our Board in establishing our mission and vision statement and synthesizing, from various documents, a strategic plan that would provide the Board and organization a road-map for the next 3 to 5 years. She was deliberate about asking thoughtful questions from our Board members and partners. In a two month-process, our organization worked with Kim to develop and finalize our mission and vision statement and strategic plan. Our Board members were extremely pleased with Kim\u2019s thoughtfulness, her preparedness and her ability to capture our passion and commitment to our community in a clear and concise statements and document. The El Monte Promise Foundation is not only pleased, but grateful to Kim Tso for assisting in propelling our organization to the next level. \u2014 Norma Garcia, Board Chair of the El Monte Promise Foundation<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
