We help your fundraising program thrive so you can change more lives.

You believe in social change.

But you work in a complex environment. There are lots of funders, but not enough funds. Growing need with fewer resources. New challenges that pop-up when the long-standing issues have not been addressed.

We exceeded targets & won an award

Cathy and Anne are a dynamic duo. Their measured yet fun approach make working with them a delight, especially when tight deadlines and challenging circumstances called for cooler heads to prevail. Before I knew it, we had exceeded targets and even won an award through the Association of Fundraising Professionals for excellence in fundraising! Their highly collaborative and supportive style made the hard work of fundraising feel...if not easy, then at least fun and satisfying.
