Testimonials
"There are so many great things I could say about Samara and her company, but this review would be too long. I took her free grant writing class in the Fall of last year and was so inspired by all of the information she gave. Shortly after that, I invested in her non-profit workshop. She walked me through step-by-step everything I needed to do to get my non-profit started, and my 501c3 has been progressing ever since. She is an open book, and desires to give back to small business owners. She is definitely considered a business mentor to me. I recommend anyone who needs guidance with the business to reach out to her."
