LAC has spent the last 21 years, 19 in her own consulting firm, writing award winning grant proposals. Her narratives address the funder's requirements with precision, calculated strategy, clarity, and innovation within client mission to not only get noticed but get funded more often than not—in fact, most often. In highly competitive environments, LAC usually outranks competing applicants. Her narratives have been held in funder libraries as exemplary models for other grant writers to use. Even if a 100 percent award ratio cannot be guaranteed, it's helpful to increase the odds of securing a grant and win the funder's respect. Well written narratives become part of a library—it's an investment well worth making—that can be drawn from with or without LAC in the future. These resources can save agencies time and help them win awards. The language can also be used in whole or in part for other fundraising efforts and/or agency marketing. More agencies are having LAC assist with their donor marketing materials because of the compelling case statements LAC creates.
