CONE truly understands the work that we do, has a firm grasp of our ‘voice’ in written text, and is able to accurately and honestly speak to our work in eloquent and nuanced ways that results in not only helping us secure grant funding, but also gains us notoriety within our community.
— Carissa Burkett, Executive Director, Third Angle New Music
We have been so fortunate to work with CONE on building out our funding program through their grant writing skills and knowledge. As a nonprofit with a tiny staff, being able to lean on CONE has given me access to the most precious commodity of a nonprofit staff member: time. I know that our grant program is in their very (VERY) capable hands, and our communication has been professional, enthusiastic and so needed. I am endlessly thankful to have them on our team.
— Katie Watkins, Producing Artistic Director, Risk/Reward
CONE has been instrumental in helping guide us in the grant process. Their experience and knowledge in the field has been extremely valuable in helping us secure important grant funding.
