What other people are saying

Edwin Weaver, MSW, MDR
Executive Director, Fighting Back Santa Maria Valley

“As a smaller agency, it was a challenge to write a federal grant. We also had doubts that the grant writers in the community could also write a successful grant application of this size. Sylvia Barnard was able to work with our team to write not only a competitive grant application, but we were successful in getting the funds to serve our homeless TAY. She was professional throughout the process and was patient when we did not know certain aspects. She taught us a lot.”

Thomas Jenkins
President of the Board of Directors, Good Samaritan Shelter

“Sylvia's ability to design and customize programs to fulfill program requirements and meet the needs of our clients and our local community is vital to our organization's expansion and long-term success. She has a talent and insight that she uses to identify the ideal interrelated program structures to ensure staff fidelity to the funding source intent, and worthwhile achievement for the clients, provider, and community needs. Her dedication to accountable and principled program design makes for a cohesive vision from and by, all participants and stakeholders.”
