I'm incredibly thankful for Prepared to Impact. Dr. Hopkins is patient, thorough, and sets you up for success. We had been applying to grant funding with little success. Through her grant writing services, education, and storytelling, she postured our company to win funding to help further our mission.
Dr. Hopkins was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very open and timely with communications. The final product of the training course we worked on together was very high quality. It was clear at each step that she is thoughtful, strategic, and strives to provide top-quality service.
Dr. Hopkins was incredibly efficient in helping me learn about the grant process and patient with me as I grew in knowledge. I really appreciate the compassion she showed me. She provided resources and broke things down that were palatable for a newbie like myself.
