What Our Clients are Saying

Carrie Johnson, Executive Director
Girls on the Run of Lancaster and Lebanon

“We are in our second year partnering with Shoestring Solutions and feel completely supported by Ellisha and Lynn’s talents. They are part of our strategic vision and are very in tune to our mission and helping us bring it to life for Girls on the Run. We have seen a significant improvement in our grant dollars since entering into this winning partnership.”

Kate Ransom, President and CEO
The Music School of Delaware

“Ellisha and Lynn helped The Music School of Delaware gain local, national and international exposure through two press conferences. The insights gained from a comprehensive “communications audit” which they conducted for us were on point and assisted in more effectively advancing delivery of the school’s messaging. The Shoestring Solutions team are upbeat, easy to work with, and they “delivered” on every project they tackled for the Music School!”
