Michele, Lauren and the Aspire team are nothing short of extraordinary. Not only do they know their craft and the associated systems and processes well, they are an absolute blast to work with. So fast, and so thorough.
“Working with Aspire has been a game changer for our organization. Our grant funding assets have grown based on the team’s expertise and industry knowledge. In addition, Aspire has taught us how to approach grant writing to improve our efficiencies and success rate. To put it into one word; having Aspire on our side is transformational.”
As the solicitor of several small municipal organizations in rural Adams County, Pa. we were interested in applying for ARPA Grants but had no idea how to go about getting them. In particular, a sewer water authority wanted funding to expand their plant plus extend a line outside of town in order to bring service to an industrial / commercial property. The property in question had several potential buyers for it but we were unable to supply the necessary sewer and water services. As a result, the potential buyers located in the adjacent county and Adams County missed out in getting 250- 300 new jobs.
Michele Beener and her staff put together grant applications at both the county level and at the state level. My client got the largest single grant of seven figures from our county and we got both state grants that we applied for due to Aspirer’s excellent work! The total received was $1.7 million to expand the plant and extend the new lines of service. Aspire was worth every penny we paid ! We wouldn’t have gotten it without them.

Erin has been one of the most delightful people I’ve ever met in over 15 years of working in the nonprofit sector. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. Within two weeks of taking AbleGamers case, she had learned all of our internal language and specifics of the charity’s mission and initiatives as if she had been working with us for decades. I can’t speak highly enough of this amazing team
