Testimonials

Here's what our satisfied clients have to say about YES! Communications:

Within two years, YES! Communications helped our struggling organization increase its foundation support by nearly ten-fold! By far our greatest partner, YES! Communications committed to our organization's long-term viability. They took the time to truly understand our mission and programs, and not only consistently produced persuasive grants that distinguish our nonprofit from all of the others, but more importantly, they worked with us on developing a winning strategy.

An invaluable resource, YES! Communications has consulted with us every step of the way highlighting prospects that are the best fit for us. Unequivocally, this is the smartest investment our nonprofit has made. The YES! team is remarkably efficient, thoughtful, knowledgeable and professional. We simply would not have made it through our toughtest times without YES! Communications.

I have had the pleasure of working with YES! Communications for the past five years. I cannot even begin to tell you how much easier my job is, because of the role they have taken on. Before YES! Communications started working with us, our submissions were sporadic and reporting was unorganized. YES! Communications has taken our grant writing to an entirely different level, keeping our submissions and reporting fresh and fundable. With their help, our grant awards have tripled--and grants are now a viable source of income for our agency.

YES! Communications is a dream come true for the non-profit fundraising venture. Kelly Kester-Smith is an excellent creative writer, knowledgeable and respected in the field of fundraising and a joy to work with. Researching funders, tracking grants and reports, and preparing a yearly grant calendar for the agency are included in our contract. YES! Communications grounds itself in the mission and vision of the non-profit and works with the agency to further both by securing funds for sustainability.

Grant writing is an art. Kelly is an artist in the field. YES! Communications gets an A+ from us.

One of the best things about the Santa Clarita Valley is having one of the best grant writing resources in Southern California available in YES! Communications. Their guidance through the grant application process, knowledge of appropriate resources, and excellent grant writing skills makes YES! Communications a formidable force to have on your side, in a very competitive environment.

Thanks YES! Communications for all you have done for Samuel Dixon Family Health Centers, Inc. We never would have achieved the growth and ability to meet increased needs that we now have without you at our side.

YES! Communications provides great writing: grants, annual reports, and all communications formats. They have the capacity to understand a wide range of information, to clarify it, and to present it clearly and strongly. They are extremely knowledgeable about funding sources and foundations. They helped our board of directors understand the need for a diversified funding base. We loved working with YES! Communications and recommend them highly.
