“For my organization – a newly formed nonprofit who’s focus is on reducing and preventing gun violence in our communities, we found her services invaluable.”

“Zenith is the word that comes to my mind when I think of the value of Dewlyn Nonprofit Services – Ms. Cheryl Smith. For my organization – a newly formed nonprofit who’s focus is on reducing and preventing gun violence in our communities, we found her services invaluable. The word zenith means, in this context, a time when something or someone is at their most powerful or successful state of being. This is what Cheryl Smith is (a Zenith); and what she has provided for me and my organization!”

“Ms. Cheryl was phenomenal. She explained the nonprofit sector and made sure that I understood everything - in detail. She was like a teacher preparing you for a big test - but making sure you would get an A! She was very warm, patient, and always made time for me. If she couldn’t, she would always get right back to me with an email response. I’m so glad that I found her! She is the Nonprofit Doctor, and I felt comfortable letting her take care of me and my nonprofit! Thanks again Dewlyn Nonprofit Services! I will be sure to recommend your services to anyone that is looking to start a nonprofit!”

“Having Cheryl supporting you and holding your hand makes a big difference.”

“Opening a non-profit can be a stressful experience and even more so if you are working full-time and do not have the necessary time for all the processes. Having Cheryl supporting you and holding your hand makes a big difference. More Days, Inc., is now an established nonprofit and, on its way, to offering educational services to pregnant immigrant women in the state of Georgia. Great Job!”
