"Micki and the team at Lakeview were instrumental in helping our company secure millions in federal funding to build a first-of-its-kind solar recycling facility. Lakeview has been a fundamental part of growing our 50-year-old small business in new and exciting ways, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any business looking to do the same."

"The University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services recently engaged Lakeview Consulting, Inc. for assistance in writing a proposal that is very important to our center. The grant positions us well to continue as Tennessee’s recipient for our largest federally funded program. They helped us refine our grant narrative by providing guidance and feedback to make it more concise and thorough. The Lakeview Consultant became an extension of our team and it was a great opportunity to leverage their grant writing experience."

“Micki and her team understand the mission of Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs (NBT) to build awareness of manufacturing career options and attract the next generation workforce to careers in our industry. We rely on their expertise in searching for grant opportunities to support that mission, and they are excellent at identifying funding priorities that align best with our programs.”

"Our company works in a very niche and highly technical field. We have not had success with grant writers in the past. I read Micki Vandeloo’s book The For-Profit Grant Writing Guide and decided to contact Micki through a professional association. We were immediately impressed with her knowledge, organization and team members. Lakeview is extremely focused, communicative and professional. Micki and her team have revitalized our grant writing process and have seamlessly integrated their system with ours. Lakeview is a quantifiably valuable resource to our organization. They are also a pleasure to work with!"

"As a manufacturer we knew the funds were out there for our industry. What we didn’t realize going in was all the invaluable contacts and networks that would be forged along the way. In the short time we have been working with Micki and her team, we have obtained funds for apprenticeship programs and leadership trainings, and connected with the South Florida Manufacturers Association, The Small Business Development Centers and the list goes on. She has opened a world of possibilities for us that we didn’t even know we were missing out on."

"We value Lakeview Consulting's help in our quest to fund success! We engaged with Lakeview Consulting over a period of five months to help us find grants and incentives to fund our expansion, design and develop an apprenticeship program that meets our needs for automotive technicians, and pursue funding for future apprentices. Lakeview Consulting's team of professionals are experts in their field and communicate valuable information in a manner that brings results."

"Micki has helped a couple of organizations that I've led. Each time Micki's been able to put my thoughts, vision, and plan into words culminating in successful awarding of grants. This is no easy feat, and I appreciate her work immensely."
