Philippe Hong, Director and Founder Raw Studio Website: raw.studio
"The MVP grant application had been on my "to do" list for too long. I knew I needed the grant money - but the thought of all those forms, the fine print, and, let's face it, the bureaucracy - it was scary!!! So it kept going to the bottom of the pile even though I knew it was important. Enter Shelli. She immediately whipped things into shape, carried the weight for me and kept me to a tight schedule to get my paperwork submitted within weeks (think personal trainer for grant applications)! I highly recommend Shelli for anyone looking to get their grant application off their "to do" list and get the cash in the bank.”
