Over the last decade, Kelly Comeau has developed a successful company focused on researching and writing proposals and grants for businesses and organizations. Funding Essentials was founded to help social-minded entrepreneurs find funding to make positive changes in the world. We help businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and charities to understand their options for government grant funding and other non-dilutive capital. In the past three years, Kelly and her team have secured over $4.5 Million in successful applications. Kelly's clientele are directed to her via word-of-mouth testimonials and referrals. We offer extensive mentoring opportunities and volunteer our time to train the next generation in the art of grant writing. Kelly has her university degree in Community Services, which gives her connections and insights into the financial needs of those sectors in need in the community. Her desire to help find government funding for other organizations and entrepreneurs motivates her. Kelly enjoys spending time with her family (husband, grown children), her critters (three GSD dogs, two cats), and traveling. She also enjoys giving back to her community and traveling.
