"Strategic Expansion & Trainings has helped us as a small non-profit in so many ways! We think of Stacey as one our team and couldn't do the work we are doing without her expertise! As we work to create a sustainable organization, Stacey's help has proved invaluable! Having someone to walk us through, instruct us on writing clear language, and see our work from a different perspective has made a huge difference."
- Grace Bauer, Executive Director, Justice For Families
"When the Reentry Employment & Economic Empowerment Program (REEEP) needed expertise to formalize our adult jobs skills curriculum we turned to Strategic Expansion & Trainings, LLC. We are very pleased with the results. Stacey Gurian-Sherman coordinated and organized our materials, as well as added additional information and insights. She produced a superb Facilitator Training Manual that is instructive and easy to use for facilitators, and provides readily accessible handouts and materials for participants. Her experience and proficiencies in jobs skills and curriculum development provided the ideal platform for our project. REEEP highly recommends the services of SET."
- Harold Bailey, Director, REEEP
BEING FUND READY
"Stacey Gurian-Sherman's "Being Grant Ready" is a truly wonderful resource-- excellently presented, lively and thorough. The Compendium is an excellent reference tool, offering clear and concise information on all stages of the grant-seeking process, great tips, and extremely helpful samples of proposal-related materials. Without doubt, "Being Grant Ready" contributed to the success of the funding requests we have sought for the Connection project: we were awarded 4 of the 5 foundation grants for which we submitted proposals!"

"It's an amazing value for everything you get - the coaching, the Compendium, the full day "boot camp," and networking."
