Amy
President
Amy is our managing director, lead strategist and all around go-to gal. She leads our team in bringing the vision and mission of Bolek Grant Writing to life, and works to maintain trust-based relations with clients and the communities we serve. Amy’s grant writing experience spans community development, arts and culture, crime prevention, education, mental health, poverty, youth development, substance abuse and early childhood.
When Amy’s not leading our team - always with coffee in hand - she enjoys spending time with her husband and two grown sons, traveling, attending concerts, kayaking, sailing and gardening.
Carol
Administrative Coordinator/Project Manager
Carol brings diverse experience to our team. She spent 10 years as a child and adolescent clinical therapist before leaving the world of social services to become a full-time mom. For the past 10 years, Carol has been working in the field of marketing, graphic design, and project management. Carol provides research, administrative and project management assistance to keep our work and projects moving in the right direction!
When Carol is not assisting Bolek Grant Writing, she is busy working out, attending concerts, tapping into her creative side, reading, and spending time with her three amazing children and two Aussie dogs.

Keith has an extensive background in education, having spent 20 years
teaching everyone from middle school students to adult English
language learners. After leaving teaching he started his own freelance
editing business. Keith provides a full range of editing services for the

Keith loves living in Toronto but hates the cold winters! He likes
exercising, lounging in coffee shops, reading non-fiction, and watching
baseball.
