“I have known Gail for two years now and began working with GK Grant Writing in fall 2006. She has always provided me with excellent guidance and, whenever needed, she is happy to go the extra mile for me and my dance company. And, boy can she get things done! I hope to continue our working relationship for many years to come.”

—Dario Vaccaro, Artistic Director, Dario Vaccaro Dance Project
