Guiding your organization…optimizing your mission
“Working with Frances and Lavello Consulting was a game-changer for the Fulton Family YMCA. Her strategic approach to grant writing and deep understanding of our mission allowed us to secure major grants, $440,000 NYS Learning and Enrichment After-School Program Supports (LEAPS); and $2,441,949 NY SWIMS Award to renovate our therapeutic pool, steam room, sauna, and locker room facilities to improve accessibility, safety, and community programming. She has become an invaluable partner in achieving organizational growth and impact, making the funding process clearer and more successful.”
Amy Leotta, LMSW, Chief Executive Officer, Fulton Family YMCA
“I enjoyed working with Fran on the NYS DOH 4 Transformation Grant. She was organized, collected relevant information, and completed the application ahead of schedule. Her work helped us secure $647,000 to create a new, accessible home for people with developmental disabilities. I’m very grateful.”
Darlene Podolak, Chief Executive Officer, Unity House
“I have witnessed the impact Frances has made on our community through her various nonprofit leadership positions. She is an excellent grant writer, which is evidenced by the millions of dollars of funding she has secured over the years. She has expertise that spans event planning to major gift solicitation. This coupled with her successful management experience makes her an incredible asset to her organization and our community.”
