Fully Funded Expansion
Lakeshore Community Health Center (LCHC)
Utilizing Gib Clarke’s services, LCHC fully funded their medical, behavioral health, and dental expansion. We also funded the creation of their first in-house pharmacy.
A major source of our success was combining grants with donations from local companies and family foundations.
Here’s what LCHC’s CEO has to say about working with Gib
“There was plenty of hesitation – and skepticism – at Lakeshore Community Health Care that $7 million could be raised for a new clinic.
Like many FQHCs, despite being one of the biggest non-profits in the community (by impact, budget, and staff size), we were relatively unknown. Gib created a buzz for us with open house events and stories in the press. Working together, we reached local companies, individuals, and family foundations and exceeded our goal.
Gib has also written all of our HRSA grants, including SACs, BPRs, and expanded services, for the past four years.
Gib is a taskmaster, making sure that everyone is focused on what they need to do and when they need to do it. But he does it with a smile and a great sense of humor that helps the team play their role in grant writing and fundraising.”
