“I am delighted to share my experience working with Daphney, who served as our fundraising strategist at the Arbol Community Fund. With her help and expertise, we were able to better understand the philanthropic sector and its unique requirements for grant solicitations.

As a result of Daphney's knowledge and guidance, our organization successfully obtained nearly $20,000 in grants that helped us reach our goals of helping low-to moderate-income college students in the Western New York region. She provided valuable insight throughout the process and was always available to answer any questions we had along the way.

Thanks to Daphney’s assistance, Arbol has been able to make a real impact on our community. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication!”
