  • personalized approach

    “Kelly’s approach to fundraising is not only practical and well thought out, but very personal. Her step-by-step plan and fundraising course was able to mold my ideas into a real plan, and launch our campaign on schedule.”
    —Morgiana Celeste Varricchio
    Producing Artistic Director, Mosaic Dance Theater Company

  • “Kelly has been wonderful to work with. She has helped me develop a more effective strategy for our year end fundraising campaign which has enabled us to have deeper engagement with our donor community and raise more funds. Her coaching has been a blessing and a gift to me and our organization.”
    Missy Angalla
    Executive Director, Amani Sasa

  • "Kelly started working with us to help us refine our mission and develop a strategic [fundraising] plan. What started as a short series of a few workshop sessions turned in an incredible partnership that continued for over a year as we uncovered our true ‘WHY’ while getting super detailed with a 5 year strategic plan that empowered my staff so that every individual knew what they were responsible for and everyone understood why we came to work everyday. My only regret working with Kelly is that we didn't work with her sooner."
    James Kim
    Executive Director, BEAT Global

  • "I had the pleasure of working with Kelly for many months when she worked as a consultant for my previous arts education nonprofit organization. Kelly's approach is transparent and accessible. Her vast expertise, along with the trove of materials she shares with clients, makes the idea of fundraising not only viable but exciting! The lessons I learned from her -- from individual donor strategy to management best practices and strategic planning support -- are skills that I pull from every day in my current role. I could not recommend Kelly more highly for anyone who could use a boost to get their fundraising to the next level. She was a life saver!"
