“Where do I begin when speaking about this amazing woman? I met Anita through a mutual friend. I was asking for someone who could help with my new foundation and also help me with grant writing. I had no idea where to start or who to turn to. Anita came highly recommended. Our mutual friend stated, “Ohh, you’re going to love her I promise. She’s smart, funny and so loving. She will get you where you need to be.” She’s the “it girl” and she knows the business of grant writing and everything in-between. Anita Blackmon is all those things but even more, she has a heart of gold. She is extremely knowledgeable about the specifics of grant writing, fundraising and how to build your foundation from nothing into a work of art. She’s always learning to stay abreast of what’s new in the business of grant writing. Anita is honest and trustworthy and has a heart for people. She is extremely patient..for real! Anita is always positive, encouraging, and dependable. She not only cares about your foundation/business and its success, but she cares about you as a person. Anita, always preparing for your next move. I love working with her because I’ve learned so much from her. My foundation has flourished and I’m a better person. I really thank God for Anita Blackmon!! She’s simply the best!

“I have been a business owner since February 2014. When I met Anita she was genuinely professional and compassionate about my products ...and took further steps to educate herself more deeply in business strategies. Throughout, she shared her strategies with me, always pushing me to remember how things could be if we applied all of the recommended business practices. She sensed when I began to let my personal life affect my business, and helped me understand... I needed to learn how to prioritize. Anita’s positivity and support is unlike any individual I have ever met! I have learned more about business in a short period of time than I have the entire time I’ve owned my business. I have learned how to schedule business hours just like a real job, prioritize my family’s needs, stick strong to my spiritual values, always reminded to never give up. If there is ever a need that I have, she has always made herself accessible, providing resources for any of my questions - and she follows through 100% with her word! Thank you so much Anita for never giving up on me... I hope every business person has the opportunity to experience her leadership skills.
