Pathways for Change
http://www.pathwaysforchange.org/
Pathways For Change is a jail-based treatment program dedicated to improving the quality of life in Northwest Florida by assisting inmates in developing and maintaining a functionally independent lifestyle that is free from the use of dependency-producing drugs, debilitating mental disorders, involvement in antisocial and criminal activities, HIV-AIDS and other communicable diseases, without regard to gender, age, race, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or physical/mental disability. Pathways for Change is a division of the Escambia County Detention Center, a Therapeutic Community separated from the general population for the purpose of providing intensive instruction, behavioral modification, and counseling in a structured setting.
WriteForChange will conduct funding research and construct a capacity-building proposal for use with foundations and corporations to build funding for expansion of the program.
“Susan is brilliant! Not only can she comprehend the make up of a new organization in brief time, but she researches and is able to write a grant that gets to the heart of the mission of the organization. Her writing style is succinct and a joy to read. I have hired her to write 4 grants in the past couple of months and she is always on target time wise as well as on budget. Hire her before she gets too busy with new contracts, she is the best kept secret of non-profits!” ~ Connie Bookman, Executive Director

" Susan is a founding member of Sustainable Tucson and served as its first Facilitator. Under her guidance we formed a Core Leadership Team. WriteForChange wrote an Executive Summary and grant proposals for our start up operations. Without Susan's guidance in that formative year, we would not have attracted diverse stakeholder participation nor organized the first Tucson Green Festival." ~ Ron Proctor, Facilitator

Watauga 4 Youth
http://www.highcountryunitedway.org/partners.htm
Watauga 4 Youth (W4Y) is a stand-alone initiative within the High Country United Way which acts as fiduciary agent. W4Y is governed by a Strategic Advisory Council with nine representatives of key constituencies for youth. W4Y was formed to address the needs of youth in a regional system that at present is loosely coordinated and therefore not delivering resources to capacity. The goal of W4Y is to catalyze strategic partnerships that leverage services and opportunities for youth through capacity building and new strategies that better serve the youth of Watauga County.
"Susan, we are just getting started with you and already you've given us a lot to think about. We are learning that grant writing is just one part of a much larger process that will involve us all more deeply. Thank you!." ~ Ron Redmond, Advisory Council Member
