Cystic Fibrosis Queensland

I have been working with Jo Garner now for  a couple of years. Over this time there were a number of people at CFQ who had the skills to write grant applications but not the expertise, the knowledge, the dedicated time. This has been a very successful relationship for Cystic Fibrosis Queensland.

Youngcare

Jo’s knowledge of the trust and foundation landscape in Australia has been incredibly valuable to Youngcare, especially as a newly established not-for-profit. Jo’s skills and guidance have played a critical role in developing and maintaining relationships with trusts and foundations without who’s support, we couldn’t do what we do.
