"Alex Bowles is an accomplished grant writer.  She doesn't simply take a request for proposals and respond based upon what she "thinks" her client wants.  She gets to know her client, researches the purpose and intent of the funding, and skillfully writes a proposal with an eye for detail and clarity while promoting the accomplishments of her client and accurately, effectively and skillfully responding to the needs of the funding source.  As a result, Alex has been able to secure millions of dollars for TAP in grant funds."

- Annette Lewis, President & CEO for Total Action for Progress (TAP)

“Alex has provided Virginia CARES with not only invaluable grant-writing services, but for the last two years has given our program a polished, professional Annual Report.  We are extremely satisfied with the work she has done for Virginia CARES.”

- Ann Fisher, Executive Director for VA CARES, Inc.

"Our not for profit organization, while in business for over 30 years, had been asked by local governments to consider expanding our service delivery system to include Head Start services in nine counties. No member of my staff had the extensive knowledge necessary to design our Head Start program nor write the grant following the very stringent requirements. Amy Hatheway (Southeast Training and Consulting Network) and Alexandra Bowles (Atlas Grant Solutions) spearheaded our efforts and worked in collaboration with STEPS to ensure the conceptualized design and budget met our needs. They walked on water and leaped tall buildings in order to complete our proposal within the deadline. The grant application was professionally done and we were awarded the Head Start program. I have absolutely no doubt that without their guidance and hard work, STEPS would not have been successful." 

"We had the privilege of working with Alex to prepare our application to be the provider of Head Start services in our nine county region.  We were successfully awarded the Head Start grant and began our operation on October 1, 2015.  Alex is an extremely professional and talented young lady whom we will use again when an opportunity arises."
