Experience in nonprofit fundraising & development
“Working with Cara was an incredible experience. She is professional, organized, and deeply dedicated. As first-time grant seekers, she guided us every step of the way with clarity and patience, making what felt overwhelming so easy to manage. Thanks to Cara's expertise, we felt confident and prepared throughout. We are grateful for her expertise and support.“
-Julie B. at NicaLove
“Working with Cara / Noteworthy Grants has transformed our strategy. As a non-profit with a traditional, single source of revenue from which to fund everything from facility expansions to investments in our people, workforce development had always taken a back seat. Cara / Noteworthy Grants took time to understand our mission, culture, and priorities, deepened our knowledge of grant programs, and identified well-aligned grant opportunities that we didn’t even know existed. We owe a tremendous thanks to Cara / Noteworthy Grants for opening the door to a world of opportunities and partnering with us to find ways to invest in the personal and professional development of our people.”
