Ms. Barabe's has been a successful grant writer since 1985 and has been awarded over $150,000,000.00 in foundation, state, and federal funds for a variety of projects. Grants funds have allowed community colleges and school districts to expand their services to students, build new career training programs, and update equipment and even build child development centers. Cities have used grants to upgrade infrastructure and embark on city improvement projects. An infusion of grant funding allows educators and cities to accomplish their objectives for improvement when their regular annual budgets have no flexibility for growth. Grants have become the vehicle for distributing funds to organizations with good ideas and the capacity and leadership to implement new ideas or improve existing services and programs.

Ms. Barabe's goal is to utilize her expertise to assist others in realizing their dreams and objectives. Experience has taught that a good idea is marketable and funders are eager to assist others, with a complimentary target and mission, to partner in reaching the desired goal. If your desire is to make the world a better place, create a new product or service, grants can help achieve that outcome.
