What My Clients Are Saying


“Kaden is one of those rare candidates who are both personable and excellent at their job.”

I'm happy to recommend Kaden Sundberg as a grant writer. Their background as a lawyer honed their ability to research and understand our organization's mission and demographics, and communicate the nuance of our work clearly and thoughtfully. They asked good questions when interacting with our executive director and board members, and did a great job of analyzing and collating all of the fine details when pulling together our organization's first master grant narrative. They also took the lead on our spring/summer grant process, and skillfully guided it to submission.

I've been impressed by their strong writing skills, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for learning about our organization. They bring a positive attitude, stay organized, and follow through on their responsibilities with a commitment to doing quality work. I have no doubt they'll continue to develop into a skilled and effective grant writer.

I've hired and managed many people in my career as a director, and Kaden is one of those rare candidates who are both personable and excellent at their job. They would be a great addition to any organization looking for someone who is motivated, hardworking, and dedicated to making a difference. I recommend them with confidence and look forward to seeing all they accomplish in their career.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

“Kaden is a thoughtful, inquisitive, and thorough grant writer.”

Kaden is a thoughtful, inquisitive, and thorough grant writer. For many years we have been challenged with explaining to funders what exactly our nonprofit does. They helped us build out our narrative so that others can understand exactly what it is that we do. They walked us through the process and put us in a position where we are grant ready.

Throughout their time with us they have been professional, met deadlines, and anticipated aspects of the work that we did not. Kaden is an ideal candidate for any team looking to boost their grant writing and fundraising strategy.
