Mayor McGehee of Bogalusa said he was particularly pleased with the grants the city received the last five years. He said hiring Larry Kinlaw & Associates as grant writer to work with Larry Miller was one of the best steps the city has taken. Later he commented that the city had received the largest number of grants of any city its size in Louisiana last year.
Robert Darrow ________ I've always heard, "it's not what you know but who you know." Well I think Larry Kinlaw knows just about everyone in Louisiana government! Gene Bozeman Project Each One Reach One has benefited tremendously from the vast knowledge and expertise of Mr. Kinlaw in seeking state and federal assistance for our program servicing children, adolescents, and their families. Larry has been, and continues to be, a god-send to those of us who are “grant challenged,” and has made a very difficult and laborious task less complex and simple. Larry is a personable individual, very conscientious, patient, and understanding of the difficulties we have encountered in obtaining funding for our program. He works tirelessly for our benefit. Derik H. Slaton __________ Five years ago, the Town of St. Joseph hired Larry Kinlaw & Associates as a grant writer. In those four years, hiring Larry Kinlaw is the best investment the town has made. We have benefited tremendously from the grants already received and excited about those forthcoming. Usually, most towns our size are not able to afford an in-house grant writer but Larry Kinlaw has provided us this service in a way that is more economical and more effective. First, Larry has the highest professionalism and expertise in seeking grants and funding and provides a service that is second to none. Second, Larry knows the process from beginning to end and is willing and able to work with a novice like me. Through Larry, I have become more familiar with the process. I am well pleased with the work of Larry Kinlaw & Associates. Edward L. Brown __________ Mr. Kinlaw, This past three years working with you has been both a blessing and a learning experience for me. We have achieved more than we ever dreamed because of the knowledge you've shared in grant preparation and availability. We are able to expand our services to help more families that are in need based on the information you have provided us, the applications you have submitted on our behalf and most especially teaching me to make personal contacts with the powers that be. Relationships, important relationships, have been formulated and these will strengthen our organization as we try to provide to more families. I had not broken a tip of the iceberg in tapping into available resources prior to meeting you and I am truly blessed that you came into my presence. We've received funding and have the opportunity for additional funding based on your expertise. Thanks for all of your help!! You are conscientious in your service and your willingness to help the smaller organizations is a plus. We need the help!! Dazetta Thorne ____________ Larry Kinlaw and Associates has gone that extra mile for small towns and non-profits. I could not put a price on how much Mr. Kinlaw has helped us. Even if it does not concern a grant, he is there for us, anytime of day or night and I know we could not have done the things that have been accomplished in Sun if it had not been for Larry. He has been our Guardian Angel. I hope to have him around a long time. Barbara Gibson ______________ Mr. Kinlaw has provided the knowledge and expertise that our not-for –profit organization needed in seeking funds from both the state and federal government. He put us on and continues to keep us on the right track.

Bowen, Jr. _______________ Our staff have repeatedly thanked me for selecting Larry Kinlaw and his team to lead us in our grant writing effort. Our team appreciates the way that Larry Kinlaw goes above and beyond to help. The personal attention and genuine concern for our needs is greatly appreciated.

Best regards, _______________ I have been very impressed with Larry Kinlaw’s professional and prompt attention to the projects that he has assisted us with at the Lincoln Parish’s Sheriff’s Office. Larry has went the extra mile to make sure that everything possible has been covered with respect to the proper paper work , contacts, and informational material to give our project a better chance for success. I have been especially impressed with Larry’s prompt response to any question that we had during the process. Larry’s knowledge and contact capability is unparalleled as for as I’m concerned . I would recommend his services to any entity that is seeking legislative help, or just trying to figure out the process to getting a proposal looked at. Thanks Larry for all you have done for this department. Mike Stone _______________ Dear Mr. Kinlaw: To God be the Glory!! Thank you and your staff for the assistance and guidance given to our foundation during the application process for the Capital Outlay Funding Request . We are most appreciative to you all. You have proven why the Kinlaw and Associates staff is such a valuable company for securing grants. Your work on the Harvey-Stevens Memorial Foundation, Inc. projects is outstanding. We appreciate the opportunity working with you and the staff at Kinlaw and Associates in preparing and submitting the Capital Outlay Funding Request for House Bill 1 and House Bill 2 . Your company has proven to have a solid reputation with grant writing and follow through. We look forward to a continued working relationship. Sincerely,
The Town of Kentwood made a move in the right direction when hiring Larry Kinlaw & Associates as our grant writing firm. Larry is a personable individual, very conscientious of his work, patient, and understanding. He has worked tirelessly for our benefit. The success ratio of grant awards has been astounding and we will continue to utilize Larry Kinlaw & Associates for our grant writing needs. Harold J. Smith _______________ What can the Lincoln Parish Fire Department say about Mr. Larry Kinlaw and Associates; since using Mr. Kinlaw, the Fire Department has received $885,000.00 through capital outlay for the year 2007!! As chief of the department, I have found out that Mr. Kinlaw knows everyone in politics from the local, state, and even federal government. He has also helped me to build a working relationship with our local state legislators. I feel like if we hadn’t used Mr. Kinlaw and Associates we wouldn’t be getting ready to build three new fire stations here in Lincoln Parish and a Public Safety Complex. Take my advice that if you do what he advises then your chances to getting funding on a project are great. His word and advice should be taken seriously and followed to the “T.” As far as I am concerned, his knowledge and advice are gold if you know what I mean. In closing, I feel like Mr. Kinlaw is a lifelong friend who will be there no matter if you are a client or not. And again I say thank you Mr. Kinlaw for what you have done for the people of Lincoln Parish and for the knowledge you have given me. Dennis Ford
