What our clients are saying
“I have been working with Susan and the Fund Your Movement team for almost five years and it has been a rewarding and invaluable experience. Susan is an expert in her field, has kept me organized, developed materials needed to attract a broad base of funders, and helped us learn how to maintain our grant reporting requirements. Our organization has seen tremendous growth through our relationship with FYM and we couldn’t be more proud to work with them for years to come. I highly recommend this firm.”
Sasha Legette, Executive Director Pure Justice
“Fund Your Movement has been a blessing to the Journey for Justice Alliance. As a Black-led national organization of grassroots groups, Susan has not only led us to increased funding, but she tightened up our infrastructure. We now have solid boilerplates, a well organized grant calendar and we have learned prospect research that has resulted in new grants. We are a better organization in no small part, to the guidance and partnership with Susan and Fund Your Movement."”
Jitu Brown, National Director Journey for Justice Alliance
“Susan from Fund Your Movement LLC provided my organization an invaluable training on Power Through Metrics, which detailed the relationship between grant metrics and the power funders naturally hold over grantees, as well as definitions for each type of metric and samples/suggestions. She also provided workshops for each of our program teams that allowed them to draft solid, adaptable, and flexible metrics. It’s been more than a year since the training, and we still reference her resource materials and talking points when honing proposals for submission. Working with Susan was great. She was professional, timely, and incredibly helpful in an area we had previously struggled with as a team.”
Anne Chamberlain, Senior Grant Writer Friends of the Earth US
