One of my all-time favorite engagements involved a very small program centered on adults with developmental disabilities. These individuals managed a used bookstore and sold paintings created by members of the group within the same storefront. Governmental funding had been discontinued and there were very few options available to maintain the minimal funding required. At the same time, I was working on several larger projects that would have had a greater financial impact on their respective organizations, but this proposal was especially meaningful to me because it provided this vulnerable population with independence, stability, and vocational opportunity. Working with a dedicated team of operations staff, we were able to put together a successful bid to fund this unique and meaningful program.
