We let our results and our clients speak for themselves
Our organization manages dozens of grants to fund our ongoing projects and support our small but mighty team of 14 full-time staff. Managing so many grants - all with different donor restrictions and timelines - is a cumbersome and complicated task, especially for a nonprofit of our size. With her years of experience, Dayna has provided us with much-needed guidance on how to implement systems to best manage our finances for maximum organizational effectiveness.
Our nonprofit agency's relationship with SGS has been vital in turning our agency around. When I began as the Executive Director, we were out of compliance and in danger of losing funding. Dayna and Tom from SGS started from the ground up and revamped our grant management processes. We were so pleased with the improvements we saw during our initial 4-month agreement that we chose to continue as a client for an additional year to make sure that we are operating at peak performance going forward. I have learned so much under their instruction and am looking forward to our continuing relationship. It is not an overstatement to say that, had it not been for SGS, we would be in dire straits right now.
Dayna has an eye for visionary trends and an ability to attract resources to meet any unexpected challenges. Her "can do" attitude coupled with her dogged pursuit of excellence and innovation are two qualities with multiple applications for any nonprofit. If Dayna agrees to take you on as a client, you won’t regret it. She will become your best friend and strongest asset. I wholeheartedly encourage nonprofits to engage her as a consultant.
