We differentiate ourselves by bringing a team to every project. Teams produce better final work products and leverage each individual’s strengths. We are also a part of a larger Grant Writing Collective which meets twice a month to share projects and discuss ways to excel together. Our website is: https://www.learngrantwriting.org/
Here is one of our grant projects that we supported from start to finish.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Stack in a wide variety of circumstances over the past two decades, most recently as her supervisor at Mid-Pacific Institute. Ms. Stack is a remarkable worker on every level - she is organized, efficient, always meets deadlines, suggests ways to improve clunky systems, and follows up on her assignments with tenacity and professionalism. If Ms. Stack can't get a job done for you, it simply can't be done. She is an absolute pleasure as a coworker and if I ever have the opportunity, I will hire her again in a heartbeat."
- R. Kevin Doyle, former Director of Mid Pacific School of the Arts
"The Haystack Essentials team is enthusiastic, dedicated, budget-conscious, and results-oriented. I totally recommend their services."
- Martha, West Klosterman Preservation Group
