Every once in a
while, a client will give us positive feedback and I’d like to share a
complimentary reaction to our services that we received from Debbie Golan of
Atid Bamidbar.
I would like to
put in a good word for David and his lovely and
highly professional colleague Shlomit Ben Michael, with whom I particularly
have been working with closely in the recent past, as we owe him and Shlomit
much thanks for their professional and devoted assistance.
They
are tremendously professional, experienced and networked and always available
to help and invest time, without looking at the clock, and even will work
during late night hours or on the weekend to polish and submit a grant proposal
before the deadline.
They
very quickly became familiar with our programs and identified their potential, offered wise
suggestions, identified new sources of funding which I was not familiar with,
opened doors and were always gracious and calm about dealing with all pressures
and "craziness".
Their
writing is precise and their wording emphasizes well the significant points,
they pay attention to detail, e.g., in the budgets so that the result will be
clear and match the requirements and the character of each foundation.
They
are also aware of integrating PR aspects in Resource Development and take
advantage of their network for that purpose. Shlomit also represented us abroad
with dignity and success during a trip to Boston and New York. The proof is that together we succeeded in securing
grants of about 1/2 million NIS from a few new sources. One of them being the New York Federation (Ilan
Halpern) – we were one of the three grantees out of 198 proposals which
submitted.
