Testimonials

"Over the years I've had the privilege of knowing and working with Tammy as part of a partnership with the Minnesota Twins.

I have worked with Tammy off and on for over twenty years and have observed her creative grant writing, fund raising and marketing skills.  She is extremely talented in each of these areas.  She is always open to new approaches to resolve problems and seek positive results.  Most recently, as Chair of the Board for Productive Alternatives, Inc., I have seen first hand the work Tammy has done to change the image of Productive Alternatives through the creative use of social media and video presentations highlighting the clients we serve and the services we provide, with amazing results. The media was extremely well done and well received by our clients, partners, the community, and our funders. Our volunteer base increased, our outreach became more effective and our fundraising improved each year. Throughout my career I have always wanted to see someone creatively use the media resources available to us to promote in a positive and progressive manner, the mission and accomplishments of the agency and clients it serves.  Tammy has done that.  I have no hesitation recommending Tammy, (Acorns-Oak Consulting) as a consultant for any grant writing, fund raising or marketing endeavor.  She is very reliable, innovative, and successful.

We are a small 501(c)(3) non-profit Public Charity. We first met Tammy Anderson in May 2019 at a committee meeting working to establish a fund raising campaign for a project. After providing her with a description of our operation and our goals she was able to offer several ideas and suggestions to improve our fund raising efforts. Before the end of that first year working with her she was able to acquire grant awards of several thousand dollars to support our mission and help fund an important project we were working on. We are very grateful for her efforts and expertise; she is always willing to offer her insight when presented with our questions.

"I just wanted personally thank you for your grant work at Lake Region Recreational Center on Ottertail Lake.  Your work provided the initial handhold that we needed to rebuild the alcohol and drug free recreational center needed by so many families.  To see the children and their parents playing, laughing and using the campground again brings great joy to my heart."

Thank you!

“I’ve known and worked closely with Tammy Anderson over the last 9 years doing Legacy Projects in honor of my late husband. Tammy has always ideated, created and hosted major events on a yearly basis that have been met with great success!

Her ability to write grants, create fundraising events and execute those plans has been very impressive. I intend to keep working with Tammy through her new company and know that my efforts on Harmon’s behalf are very safe in her hands.”

Tammy brings positive energy to every space she enters, whether in person or on the phone, you cannot help but love her. With this energy comes a sincerity that donors are drawn to. She can bring your organizations or businesses dream to the table and make it come alive!

I had the pleasure of working with Tammy for three years. During those three years, she was able to secure three different grants, each awarding $50,000 to help open a housing and employment program. The relationship she established with these organizations throughout the process helped them visualize and believe in the “experimental” program we wanted to establish. Without Tammy’s exceptional grant writing experience, I do not believe we would be where we are today.
