Testimonials

“Alyson helped our staff and board take our big goal, break it down into clear milestones, and make it attainable. We were able to run a successful campaign, and create a new community space thanks to her help, know-how, and encouragement!”

- Jessica Wilson, Executive Director, Mill City Grows

“I was lucky enough to work with Alyson when she consulted at our agency. At this time, I was pretty new to the fundraising field and I was excited about the opportunity to learn more. Alyson exceeded all my expectations. She is so incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of fundraising and she has the results to prove it. Not only did my individual knowledge base increase, but our organization began to hit our previously unmet fundraising goals. We met or exceeded every appeal goal we set while Alyson consulted with us and we have continued this trend because of the lasting effects of our work with her. On top of that, Alyson is very easy to work with and quickly built strong relationships with our team."

- Jonathan Baum, LICSW, Chief of Staff, Doc Wayne Youth Services, Inc.

"I highly recommend Alyson to any nonprofit looking for tactical development advice or seeking help to grow or strengthen their organization's approach to (and success with) fundraising and stewardship. Alyson has a depth of knowledge that is invaluable. She is a good listener and works to understand organizational culture, which is essential when building a development plan that has legs. With Alyson's input, we recently built a highly successful campaign because she encouraged us to expand our vision of what success looks like. Her coaching and mentorship is invaluable."

- Clare Gunther, Chief Advancement Officer, Lowell Community Health Center

“It has been a pleasure working with you, Alyson. Your help was so valuable for our team and organization during a leadership transition, a pandemic and everything else happening in the world. Thank you for your time, your diplomatic and friendly approach, and your thoughtful insight and guidance. I know we all learned a lot and will benefit from the planning we have done together.”
