Happy Client List

“After a consultant search, I selected Jono Marcus to assist me with grant proposal submissions. Previous staff within my organization and external partner agencies had recommended him, and now I understand why. Jono and his team have been responsive, quick and thorough in responding to every RFP and grant opportunity that I have assigned. If (more likely, when) an obstacle or new direction pops up mid-proposal, Jono is adept at keeping the project on track and maintaining its integrity.

Besides the tasks in front of us, Jono keeps his eye on other opportunities. I appreciate the many times that he has led me to other funders, and kept my organization abreast of new possible funding sources. Jono has an uncanny ability to stay focused on the job, keep eyes and ears open, maintain constant open communication with his client, and inject humor along the way.”

“Jono has been a true life-saver for Cristo Rey. Not only did he help us to solidify effective systems and procedures around processing grants, he also helped us to develop a well-thought out and thorough fund development plan, grant template and grant calendar. He is timely and thoughtful in his work and has encouraged us to increase our effectiveness as well. We have received great feedback from our board and more importantly have received funding due to his hard work and great collaborative skills. I would recommend Jono and his team to anyone looking to expand their grants program.”

“It is and has been a pleasure and a learning experience working with Jono Marcus. He is an absolute professional and pushes our organization and myself personally as Executive Director to do my very best in communicating the mission and vision of the School in our joint work in fund development. I greatly appreciate his vision, his excellent writing skills, his ability to strategize and his wish to see his clients truly succeed. He is able to listen and extract the core beliefs and values of our organization. We are a five year old organization and our success in fund development would be half of what it is without his support and presence. I highly recommend Jono Marcus and his consulting services to any non profit who is ready to do the hard work of transforming your fund development approach!”
