Testimonials

Heart, strategy and foresight is at the centre of the grant writing process brought forward by Bill Locke from Capacity Builders. The experience of co-working on the grants with Bill instilled trust in the process, increased the quality of our offerings, scaffolded our innovative spirit, and most of all, the finished product reinforced and validated our ethos. Bill is excellent at understanding the needs as well as the mission, and joined Gateway’s grant-response journey as a collaborator from start to finish. The complexity of the proposal did not reduce clarity, goals or the transformative design being proposed. The timely communication throughout the entire process allowed for respectful time management on both ends as well as a steady process that still held space for flexibility. We highly recommend Bill and Capacity Builders to any entity hoping to actively reflect their vision and purpose in their proposal and fund development efforts with value alignment.

I want to thank you for your expertise and exceptional work in developing the proposal for AEFN. Your ability to synthesize complex information, craft compelling narratives, and produce a high quality submission made a significant impact on our success. You offered guidance, shared best practices, and helped shape a stronger, more strategic proposal, one that ultimately resulted in securing our four year grant.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you, and I am truly grateful for the positive energy and thoughtful approach you bring to every project.

I look forward to continuing to work together.

For all the things we can find wrong in the world, there is an incredible amount of “stuff” that is right with the world and there are amazing, passionate, compassionate people turning this “stuff” into reality for the benefit of others…Compassionate people such as Bill Locke of Capacity Builders.

Capacity Builders helped us find and establish professional relationships with major funding sources, creating a positive long-term impact on our organization.

At impact society we have found the granting process to be a highly specialized field. Capacity Builders negotiated many potential roadblocks for us directly resulting in the reception of grants which otherwise would not have been possible.

There are few people around with their personal involvement, network of contacts, level of experience, knowledge and enthusiasm working with the non-profit sector.
