Jacqueline White

Founder and Executive Director, CloseKnit
“We came to Holistic as a start-up nonprofit. Christine drew back the curtains on the grantmaking process and guided us to financial stability in the form of multi-year and six-figure grants! She is the kind of calm, good-humored and knowledgeable guide you want by your side.”
Melissa Cuff

Director of Development and Communications, Avenues for Youth
“Christine Schwitzer of Holistic Grants does excellent work! As our contract grant writer with Avenues for Youth for the past two years, she's managed the details of our grant development work from writing winning proposals to keeping up with report deadlines and updating the grants workplan. What I appreciate about Christine is the depth of experience and knowledge that she brings to her role. Working with her has felt like a load has been lifted off of my shoulders. Christine's focus on the detailed grants work means that I can spend more time building and strengthening relationships with individual donors and foundations. And that means better results for Avenues over both the short-term and the long-term. “
