Testimonials
Professionalism, communication, and core values. Yes, Empowered CDC, Inc, was in search of a grant writer. We found the above organization and they are superb. Communication with the clients are A-1, they found us funding in a short period of time, and also gave us insight on what we needed to build a strong proposal to compete with other organizations for grants.

Funding For Social Change has been a great partner for my organization. Their skill in fundraising, development, and grant writing has helped us move to new levels of support. They have a deep understanding of the social justice space and of movement building that helps them navigate the funding world and still be true to the mission of organizations they represent.

Funding for Change is dedicated to helping grassroots organizations grow and become more capable of taking on systems of injustice. I cannot emphasize how helpful and patient Joa Jin has been in the process of aiding an organization totally ignorant of grant writing and it’s foundational principles.
From a group with no knowledge and experience of how to get funding, we eventually started to get so much funding we didn’t know what to do with it!! The ability to work with our flexible schedules, the patience and kindness shown to personal or emergency issues, and the empathy and generosity Joa and her partners have shown makes me feel that Funding For Social Change really understands our vision for the future.
