The Erb Family Foundation contracted with Daniel Ross and his associated consultant Malini Ram Moraghan in July 2013 to assist with a complex mission-driven commercial urban agriculture start-up in Detroit, and they quickly proved to be an invaluable asset. They have brought unique expertise and insights to the project, acting as our “super program officer” and more. Initially retained to review the project’s business plan and advise us as a funder, they have since helped us restructure the multi-year grant to include performance based payments, assisted the grantee in developing a successful pilot demonstration to test and prove the business concept, helped further engage and inspire multiple stakeholders including potential investors, and conducted coaching sessions to guide the grantee through the challenges of project execution and hone their management skills.
