Why choose Olivia? Here’s what clients have to say:
“Olivia Everitt has been a key part of the success of our organisation. Olivia has supported BIEDO with numerous grant applications and acquittals and run events that add immeasurable value to our Burnett Inland community. Her experience, expertise and knowledge in the Arts and skills as a Grant Writer are remarkable.”
“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Olivia over the last five years and it has been an absolute delight! Olivia has a wide range of skills as a project coordinator and arts administrator and she has supported our organisation by crafting our monthly e-News, enhancing our Facebook presence and coordinating our highly successful, yearly arts immersion day, RAID. Olivia’s efficiency and thoroughness is underpinned by her deep love for the arts - thank you, Olivia!”
“Words cannot express how amazing Olivia Everitt is. She has been our organisation’s Super Woman on a number of occasions since 2017. I have never quite seen anyone work with so much attention to detail and with such time management efficiency. I am continually in awe of her professionalism. Her knowledge of the creative industries and her inner-sense to go that extra mile is one of her many super-powers. She always asks the right questions to delve further into a project to reach its core to ensure that maximum return can be made. It has been a pleasure to work with Olivia and she is always our first port of call when outsourcing our project work. So, jump to it - make sure she is yours too!”
“We have recently engaged Olivia to assist us in our grant application in the Tourism sector. She was amazing right from the get-go, taking us on as clients at short notice, saving us from so much stress with an approaching deadline. She was able to quickly pinpoint the information that was required from us to efficiently present a draft, including statistics that she had sourced. While we are still waiting on the outcome of our grant, I can confidently say that we would be over the moon to work with Olivia in the future. Her skilled and professional manner was very impressive, we work with a great deal of corporates, and would happily recommend her to other people that require her assistance.”
“Olivia provided me with advice on my grant application that helped me articulate my project and the outcomes better...I highly recommend Olivia to emerging artists who are overwhelmed with the grant writing process, to structure and express their idea so they have the best chance at securing a grant.”
