“Pamela has been a valuable part of the Spikenard Farm team since 2014. Her grant writing skills helped us win a $200,000 matching grant challenge from The Cabell Foundation. And her fundraising skills helped us win the additional $200,000 matching gift support. We very much appreciate her ability to effectively communicate our mission and core values. She is also excellent in project planning and has made valuable contributions to our capital campaign and leadership succession process. We give her a high recommendation.”
