Kia Chatmon is an exceptionally responsive and passionate partner who took the time to genuinely learn our mission and understand what makes Bishop McNamara High School's work meaningful.
Her expertise in grant solicitation, management, and execution is evident, and her enthusiasm for our projects made the collaboration feel effortless.
Kia made our school a better fundraising organization, and the results have provided real benefits for our students, our faculty, our families, and our school programs. I have already recommended her to other schools and nonprofits, and I would do so again without hesitation. Any mission-driven organization looking for a skilled and dedicated grant writing partner would be well served by working with Kia and Heart for the Community.

Working with Kia Chatmon and Heart for the Community was a tremendous asset to MHCDO.
Kia provided in-depth fundraising research on foundations and corporate donors, and helped us shape a clear, strategic approach to engagement. Her insights were thoughtful, actionable, and tailored to our mission.
Kia was a true pleasure to work with—professional, collaborative, and deeply committed to supporting community-based organizations. I would absolutely recommend Heart for the Community to any nonprofit looking to strengthen its fundraising strategy.

Kia updated and reorganized our grant process.
She worked closely with the team, managed our expectations, and developed a multi-year plan to help us actualize grants. She regularly met with and kept our busy staff on target. I was especially pleased with how she introduced new opportunities, helped us enact a short-term and long-term plan for success, and educated the team and some board members about the evolving world of grants and trends.
Kia and her team are patient, kind, and results-driven. I strongly recommend Kia and Heart for the Community Consulting. As a leader she certainly has the nonprofit community at heart.

Heart for the Community has provided the resources enabling us to adapt, strategize and build.
Working with Kia and her team reinforces my constant reminder that we as a community have to forge a place for us that has been constructed for someone else. Simply said, Heart for the Community is an Innovator who understands the changing character of the times.
Given the opportunity I strongly recommend engaging Heart for the Community.

Working with Kia Chatmon was my first experience with a grant writer.
My organization had so much language about our programming and outcomes. Kia analyzed all of our collateral and worked with me to create a cohesive story about our approach and impact and I was able to use the language to answer a variety of grant application questions.
Her collaborative approach also gave me ideas on how to approach some of our initiatives and how to involve more stakeholders in our community.

We came to Kia when we were first starting out, and she helped us more than she will ever know.
She took the time to really get to know us and made suggestions that we still use today.
I would highly recommend this organizations.
