RevComm Consulting

Grant writing in 2026. 😔

This is a real message I just sent a client as we’re working through a federal proposal. Some people might think these are just “buzz words” but they carry powerful meaning backed by action. I’ve been doing this for 15+ years and never did I think this would be a reality.

Grant writers, check in and share how you’re handling these times.

Rich in time ⏳

If you asked us both what we feel is the most important thing we gain from entrepreneurship, we’ll always say the same thing: TIME. Our goal was never to be financially rich, it was always to be rich in time. We used that time to escape to the Oregon Outback for a few days while our INCREDIBLE team held down the fort behind the scenes. There were still a couple of things that needed our direct attention, which meant answering emails from a hammock in the middle of Lassen National Forest and taking a call on the side of the road in the Sierras before going off the grid.

This is our why.💫

This is what we mean when we say we’re more than consultants, we’re your partners 🤝🏽 we commit to our projects, but we go above and beyond by advocating and showing up. Why? Because we say yes to projects that we truly believe in and are passionate about.

Every member of our team is a parent, which means we ALL understand the realities of diaper insecurity. Parents shouldn’t have to choose between keeping the lights on or buying diapers - but that’s the reality for 47% of families here in America. That’s why we were proud to stand before City Council to advocate for continued CDBG funding in support of this vital program. 🧷

RevComm out in the community! 💫

We had a great time joining our friends at the 14th Annual Chief’s Luncheon, coordinated by the Riverside Police Foundation. It was so wonderful to learn more about the many impactful community programs sponsored by the Riverside Police Foundation, helping community members from at-promise youth to seniors in need of companionship.

At RevComm Consulting, we believe that women belong EVERYwhere and ANYwhere decisions are made.

We are PROUD to be a woman-owned small business consulting firm. Our work is rooted in community and empowerment as we strengthen nonprofit organizations that in turn uplift our neighbors in need.

Today and everyday, we celebrate the strength and impact of women everywhere. From those running homes to those building businesses with purpose - we see you and we appreciate you.

Happy International Women’s Day, you incredible changemakers ✨

Life as a mama entrepreneur 🫶🏽

This week, the littlest team member here at RevComm was knocked down with the flu and home from school ALL week. As a small business owner for almost ten years, we’ve learned that people like to focus on the glamorous side of entrepreneurship - flexible schedules, “no boss”, etc.

But this week reminded me that people don’t always see entrepreneurship in the raw, especially when you’re a parent. We don’t have PTO. We don’t clock out. Deadlines still need to be met while you’re also juggling taking temperatures and comforting your little one who feels miserable.

I snapped this picture while I was trying to comfort my sweet boy with a high fever. I had to cancel a meeting because he needed me, and I ended up sending emails from my phone on his bedroom floor once he fell asleep.

I share this as a reminder of something I continuously stress: show up as a human with your clients. Professional boundaries are important, but I’ve also found so much value in letting my clients into my personal world. At RevComm, we show up as experts in our work while also being proud parents. So when life hit this week, I found ways to pivot but still meet deadlines — and my clients understood. Thank you to each and every one of them for showing grace and understanding.

I promise you that it’s okay to let your multiple hats coexist and I truly am so grateful and privileged to have a career that allows me to empower nonprofits while still being there for my kiddo.

And if you’ve been anxiously awaiting episode two of the DIEGO TALKS series, it’s coming!!! We talked a lot about his video ideas this week, so stay tuned for episode two to drop next week.

Be well, friends 🤍
