“I have had the pleasure of working with Jaclyn on several grant applications in support of our registered charity.

“Working with Jaclyn was easy and informative. She was very professional and accommodating from the beginning, and took the reigns on doing some research for us that I have found daunting to even start. In a few short weeks, she had a comprehensive list of funding options for my business that took a lot of the guesswork out of finding and applying for grants in the arts. She talked me through the list with further recommendations for applications and funding uses, which left us with everything we need to move forward and get the financial support we need!”
Caelia Gardner, Owner of Dance Alive Studios (Saskatoon, SK)
"Working with Jaclyn on our grant application was seamless and enjoyable. She is professional, organized and was able to communicate our organization's values and objectives clearly and concisely in a manner that allowed the donor to see how our organization was a good match for their grant. Jaclyn communicated with our organization clearly throughout the whole process, finished ahead of deadlines, and overall did an exceptional job in all areas of the application. We were thrilled to find out we were awarded the grant we applied for and it was all because of Jaclyn's attention to detail, her understanding of our cause and her dedication to do a thorough and exceptional application. I would highly recommend Jaclyn for any grant writing application. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be using Jaclyn again in the near future!"

“As someone with a project idea for community impact, but limited experience in grant writing, I needed to learn how to find possible streams of funding. Jaclyn Willems took my idea and laid out a comprehensive step by step strategy that was easy to put into action and gave me confidence in moving forward!”
Jeanne Manire, Local Immigration Partnership Coordinator at Chilliwack Community Services (Chilliwack, BC)
“Jaclyn was pleasant, professional and easy to work with during our work together installing a massive anti-racism mural in the community of Chilliwack. Her hard work of securing funding through writing a grant, resulted in meaningful employment for four BIPoC artists and created a lasting, memorable large scale piece of art that benefits the entire community to this day. Working with Ms. Willems was a privilege; she is a thoughtful, intelligent and driven individual who knows how to build great relationships.”
