What Our Clients Are Saying About Cay Communications.

“I can't say enough about Carolyn and her team and how much they have helped elevate Sunshine on a Ranney Day with funding.  I am a person who takes on a lot and it's sometimes hard to delegate.  That all changed once we hired on Cay Communications.  They have opened so many doors for funding as well as opened many new networks and resources toward other needs. They go above and beyond to make sure nonprofits are taken care of.  Anytime I hear a nonprofit needing help, I will always refer to Cay Communications as my number one!”

"We are so honored to have been selected as a Cay Communications Pro Bono client for support in all of our fundraising efforts.  Carolyn are her team are such a wealth of knowledge and has helped us to navigate the world of special events, donor recognition programs and grant writing.  As a relatively new nonprofit, we suspected that it would take time to get traction in the area of grants--but were delightfully surprised at the number and level of grants the "funding whisperers" there were able to secure for us."

“At Family Promise of North Fulton and Dekalb we were just starting our foray into grant writing.  Cay Communications created a detailed, custom database of feasible potential funders that our nonprofit can pursue for years to come. We wouldn’t have known where to start without them. Carolyn and her team are a pleasure to work with. I love that they continue to check in with us and share new opportunities. "

“As a veteran, I wanted to expand my work at  the Warriors Entrepreneurial Network to bring community service and support to the high students enrolled in ROTC programs.  We were not sure where to start with articulating our vision and mission, putting together our programming and the financial plan to bring it to fruition.  We could not have started Future Warriors without Cay Communications.”
