Testimonials
“Our nonprofit has been working with Three Notch’d Nonprofit Solutions since 2023. In just a year, Ellen helped us raise nearly a million dollars in grant funding, including authoring the proposal that won us the largest award we have ever received in our 20-year history. Ellen is brilliant in her ability to rapidly process the ideas and details of a new initiative, and then craft and transform the information into a comprehensive, clear, compelling, and creative proposal. It is an absolute delight to work with Ellen, as she is consistently dependable, timely, and flexible. The excellence and passion with which she approaches her work makes Ellen so much more than a consultant or grant writer – she is a true partner.”
