Our nonprofit recently hired Sherpa Consulting to assist us on a Federal Grant application review and submission. We had never applied for Federal funding before and Margaret was very knowledgeable, patient, and gracious with her support a very tight timeline. We arranged a post-mortem with Sherpa to dig even deeper into the Federal grant application process to make internal process improvements and found this to be well worth the additional investment. In particular, we really appreciated Margaret's ability to calm and meet us right where we needed her throughout the entire project. Highly recommend!

I was lucky enough to receive consulting from Margaret Dillon as part of a grant we won. Our non-profit, East TN Freedom Schools, has been in business for six years. Though the plan was for Margaret to help us with fundraising, our work went beyond that. As helpful as she was getting us more focused and organized around fundraising, some of the greater benefits came from the discussions we had about our strategy and getting positioned for our next phase of growth. I greatly appreciated Margaret's caring approach, creativity, and her candor.

I've had a great experience with Margaret as a business coach. Her insight and perspective are on point and thought-provoking. She's a great listener and is able to guide the work to a great outcome. I've taken away several "nuggets" of wisdom that has helped me be a more effective leader in my organization. Highly recommend.
