“As an emerging choreographer I realized that one key to my success while building a dance company was finding a grant writer. After interviewing many people I found Gail Koelln, who came to me with the highest recommendation from a client. Since beginning our work together Gail has been key in helping me define my mission as an emerging artist and building the foundations of my dance company. Her commitment and integrity to the work is invaluable. I will continue working with GK Grant Writing as the dance company begins to grow no matter where my work takes me.”

—Fayth Caruso, Artistic Director, Fayth Caruso Company
