What our clients say

Real words from municipal, nonprofit, and organizational partners.

"I recently had the good fortune of working with Leslie Brown of MVG Consulting in acquiring a grant. She found a grant and reached out to me as I fit the target demographic. Due to the height of my busy season, I politely turned down her efforts several times. She did not relent and continued to encourage and inform me about the strong possibilities that lay ahead. My business did receive the grant under her guidance. As a result, a whole new world has opened to me. I am researching other grant sources, and am currently working on my career transition. None of this would have been possible without the consistent efforts that Ms. Brown put forth on my behalf. I have already retained her services for another grant which I'm pursuing. If you are in need of grant services, look no further than MVG Consulting."
Crystal S.Lady of Harp
"We had a very limited time to submit an application for a grant and a very generalized idea on what we wanted to accomplish with the grant. MVG was extremely knowledgeable about the grant and had a deep understanding of their craft. They offered vision, strategy, and action steps all in an efficient and professional manner. Due to their guidance and support we were awarded the grant. I would highly recommend MVG Consulting!"

"It is with great pleasure that I'm writing this review. A few years ago I hired MVG Consulting Company and Mrs. Gordon who is the senior grant writer for this company to write a grant for my business. She is a consummate professional. She's very intelligent and knows what she's doing. On both occasions I was awarded the grant. If you're looking for a company who can help you grow your business I highly recommend this one."

As a result of their focus and dedication, their team of professionals were able to secure 4 grants on behalf of our non-profit organization at a total value of over $1.5 million for 3 years. MVG Consulting also assisted our agency in securing a 3 year CARF Accreditation, the highest award possible. MVG Consulting provides exceptional work and I would highly recommend them."
