The Team

Cheryl Kester
Operations Manager
Cheryl knows grants—strategies, funders, stakeholders, grant readiness, application dos and don’ts—her expertise covers it all. Most importantly, this professional speaker, author and grant strategist has put all that know-how to work securing more than $154 million in grants and contracts for clients over the last 20 years. For our clients, she’s a gold mine. When Cheryl takes a break, she’s on a bike in hilly country with plenty of dark chocolate on hand.
