“We’ve won over $3.6 million in federal workforce development grants by working with Krista and her team of grant writers. Once they helped us get that first $1.3 million grant, it opened the doors to a world of opportunities for our new nonprofit.

Now our programs are rapidly expanding and government officials and academic leaders are asking to work with us. Most of all, we’re training hundreds of West Virginians to get high-paying jobs that make broadband widespread in our state.

We love working with Krista and her team. They’re all sharp and incredible writers. We couldn’t have done any of this without them.”

"We’re a small organization serving our Pacific Islander community through a culturally specific approach. Krista Kurlinkus, LLC understands our mission and values and in less than a year has helped us grow our housing assistance program and expand our youth development programming beyond Portland to southern Oregon.

We started with 1 staff and are now 10 statewide. We meet regularly to review our strategies and our awesome grant writer is very attentive and flexible with our often full schedule.

We highly recommend them if you’re looking to grow or even sustain your organization.”

"We are so thrilled to be working with Krista Kurlinkus on our grant process. We have worked with other grant writers before, but Krista has made the process easy and professional. Krista has helped us get international grants from 4 different governments, the U.N., and private foundations to help fight human trafficking in Southern Africa. She is a delight, incredibly smart, and easy to work with! I highly recommend Krista!"

"We were in the process of starting a grant application and quickly realized it was an impossible experiment without guidance from someone experienced. Once we were introduced to Krista we developed a comfort level that she was the person to help us. Krista was always helpful and very good at follow-up. Krista is a very warm and understanding individual. She was a pleasure to work with and helped us better understand the system."
