extremely capable and keen collaborator
to have in our corner. As our consultant, she has helped us
write a professional and compelling case statement and
assisted us with several capacity building grants that
resulted in three awards and others that are still pending.
She has expertly guided us in two successful fundraising
campaigns. She is a welcome associate to our
endeavors.

Susan is a great find! With her expertise, contacts and
enthusiasm, she has been an invaluable resource. She has
helped us to identify prospects and drafted complicated
proposals tailored to the often-exacting demands of various
foundations and government agencies. Susan got to know our
organization very quickly and started producing for us
almost immediately. She is a wonderful colleague.

-- Participants in workshops taught by Susan Mathisen
As a
small conservation studio, we had an opportunity to work
with Susan Mathisen during a recent fundraising push by our
client, a synagogue on the Lower East Side of
Manhattan. We were both impressed with Susan's
ability to identify as-yet untapped sources of funding and
her skill at creating a compelling narrative to communicate
the synagogue's needs. She also worked with us to
develop a broader idea of where the synagogue's
fundraising efforts could focus in the long term.
Ultimately, she helped to propel this project forward in a
substantial way, and we strongly recommend her work.

“I got both big picture understanding and specific
information about applying for grants. The presenter
clearly knew her stuff.”

“Susan is such a pleasure to work with. She has a
wealth of knowledge in her field, and she always comes up
with creative ways to ‘find’ money for projects. I
highly recommend you let Susan help you with your project”.
