"I first met Anne in 2019 at an early childhood health community meeting I was facilitating; she was in attendance to support the community members in the process of conducting an assessment of their current strategies. I had the good fortune to share my lunch with Anne and we immediately clicked! She is dynamic and engaging, not to mention whip smart! I have since come to know Anne as a fellow consultant and friend. Her passion for supporting organizations and communities is apparent and she leads with careful thought, intentionality, and relationships. If you are in need of a professional who will support you in ways you didn't even anticipate, look no further than Anne. She is high quality and worth every single penny!"

Jean Cimino
Public Health Professional
"Working with Anne and TaylorMade Connections has been a wonderful experience. She doesn’t offer a one-size-fits-all service—she takes the time to truly understand our mission, our goals, and even our voice. Every detail of her work feels customized to us, which made the process smooth and meaningful. Her personal touch sets her apart and makes her an invaluable partner. I strongly recommend working with them."

Kate Kerkmans, LCSW, CBIS
President & CEO, Brain Injury Association of Colorado (BIAC)
"The way I met Anne was essentially a consultant's nightmare; a new client invited both of us to the same 'kickoff' meeting but didn't tell either of us about each other - so we had to engage a very difficult dance of trying to get to know each other while also learning about the client and shaping the project. I'm happy to say that the initial awkward moments quickly transitioned to a delightful partnership as I soon learned about the thoughtfulness and openness that Anne brings to all of her work, and we have enjoyed synergistic collaboration on many projects since."

Kurt Wilson, Ph.D.
President, EffectX

Above all, Anne cares about her clients deeply and is invested in their success."

Sarah Duran
Founder & CEO, Fruition Initiatives
"Anne was able to take the complex work we do as a service-enriched affordable housing developer and hone in on the information and data we most needed to grow our philanthropic program. Her vision helped us set realistic goals and focus on priority areas. In working with Anne, not only have we seen success, but we have also established strong language to talk about our organization and programs, identified key data and statistics to support our asks, our funder research has improved dramatically, and our stewardship has been significantly strengthened due to her expertise."

Georgeanne Barrett
Director of Communications and Philanthropy, Archway Communities
"Anne is a true gem. She takes great pride in what she does and who she serves and works to truly understand her clients' needs - beyond just their articulated wants and desires. She invests deeply with whom she works and goes above and beyond to make an impact. She is kind, generous and steadfast in making an impact."

She has the systems in place, the experience to push through (and avoid!) roadblocks, and the heart for helping organizations positively impact the world in big ways and small. Anne is a tremendous listener and provides wise counsel to those she serves.”

She is an expert in research and development and has been instrumental in helping SHO increase internal programming to the over 350 low and no income seniors that we serve. In working personally with Anne, she has an amazing attention to detail, incredible work ethic, and a natural ability to tell an intriguing story to capture a grantors attention. I highly recommend her to any non-profit organization looking to improve their development outcomes and growth.”

Her ability to "see the big picture" while providing business and strategy coaching within our group has been priceless. As a colleague, I have witnessed first hand Anne's appreciative inquiry skills which allow her to develop unique perspectives that benefit all group members. She has a distinctive ability to assess and strategize with organizations. This empowerment opens up doors for organizations to identify their assets, strengths, and creative success plans.”

Kenzie Crow
Strategic Partner to Executive Leadership
“I began working with Anne in early 2021 when she began supporting Archway Communities as a grant writer and consultant. Not only has she been a tremendous asset to our organization overall, she has helped us become more organized, she has produced great content, and she has been incredibly easy to work with by providing clear and consistent communication and honest feedback. In the time she has been working with us we have increased our fundraising and with her research, suggestions, and deep knowledge of the philanthropic world, and we are reaching more funders than ever before. Perhaps most importantly, she has been a seamless fit with our team. I sincerely enjoy working with her and hope we will continue to work together well into the future.”

She has the capability to be both compassionate and analytical, and she will consider all the angles and possibilities. Highly, highly recommend!”
