Who We Are: Our Team

While the nonprofit organizations with which we work are always assigned a sole contact person among our senior staff, all of our clients receive the benefit of our whole team's expertise.


Our client consultant team offers well over a century of experience developing and managing direct response fundraising campaigns. Every single client consultant has also worked in "the trenches" as fundraising staff of nonprofit organizations.


We take pride in the passion we bring to our work, and the determination we share to contribute to the quest for world peace, social justice, and a healthy environment.
