©Copyright 2012 B Lab. All rights reservedAbout Quinn Associates
Since 1988, Quinn Associates has provided small and mid-sized arts organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area with an extensive array of professional fundraising services. Working closely with artistic directors, executive directors, Boards, and volunteers Quinn Associates has helped arts organizations in our community raise millions of dollars from foundations, corporations, government agencies, and other institutional sources. By offering their "soup to nuts" list of services - from straight grant writing to complete proposal preparation and submission - Quinn Associates tailors its services to suit the needs (and budgets) of each organization. We are committed to both quality and affordability: their hourly rates are well below community average, and typical submission costs run from $300-$3,000, depending on the type of grant.
Quinn Associates learned about the B Corporation program because of its partnership with salesforce.com, we reviewed the survey and went ahead with certification when we learned that the values and work of our firm are reflected in the B Corporation values.
Quinn Associates' clients come from the Bay Area region and represent a wide spectrum of artistic styles in music, theatre, dance, and media, arts education, arts service organizations, and organizations that give voice to the many diverse ethnic voices of their community. Their track record on behalf of their clients is excellent. Quinn Associates has been responsible for the submission of thousands of proposals and applications, resulting in millions of dollars raised for our clients.
