<br />Santicola & Company: Santicola & Company was established in 2001 and over the past 25 years has worked in multiple communities
<br />across the United States, including Native American reservations. Santicola & Company helps communities reach economic, health,
<br />and social equity by providing grant writing, capacity building, project facilitation, and strategic planning services. They have helped
<br />generate grant funding for community development, including arts, broadband, culture, economic development, education, healthcare,
<br />housing, justice, language, open spaces, transportation, victim services, and more. By teaming up with a group of highly successful
<br />entrepreneurs and experts in their respective fields, the Santicola & Company team has individually and collectively generated over
<br />$1B in grants in 20+ years and won numerous awards for excellence in leadership. In 2010 and 2014, Beverly Santicola, the company’s
<br />President and majority owner, was selected out of 1,600 national nominations as a Purpose Prize Fellow by Encore.org. In 2015, Santicola
<br />& Company designed and implemented the first-ever Native National Partnership Retreat that recruited over 40 funding agencies to
<br />participate in a three-day event for just one client that resulted in the generation of $166M in new grant funding. Their track record of
<br />success is 95%, in comparison to the national standard of 65%.
<br />Additionally, Santicola & Company worked with CES over 12 months to identify grants for the Miccosukee Tribe in Miami, Florida on
<br />a septic-to-sewer project. The Tribe had its own internal grant writer, but Santicola & Company worked to identify and co-develop
<br />applications due to its long-term, well-established relationships with federal funding partners.
