What her clients say

"Margaret's presentation about our organization's development work was spot on and contained important things that needed to be said.  Her transparency and work ethic are admirable and I really trust her."  
​                                                                                                                                                               ~ Jessie Davis, Executive Director, Friends of the Strand Theatre

""We hired Margaret to help us increase our unrestricted revenue.  Her gentle, not heavy-handed persistence is making us better fundraisers.  With Margaret's help, our annual appeal raised over 50% more than it had in the previous year."

"You hear that it takes years to build the relationships that grow your annual giving, and it's true. Margaret's leadership role in the development committee over 3 years helped our team realize the Land Trust's biggest annual fund return ever." 
​                                                                                                                                                                ~ Alvin Chase, Board Chair, Georges River Land Trust

​"As a busy executive director with many tasks on my plate, I truly appreciated Margaret's resourcefulness, energy, and organized approach as the Quartet planned and hosted our 25th Anniversary concert and celebration.  Not only did she help me prioritize the timeline to-do list, mount the online event promotion and ticket sales platform, and handle a myriad of other details, she also helped me and the celebration committee think through a specialized sponsorship program that was in addition to our annual one for our regular programs.  Big events require many hands on deck, and experienced ones at that.  I'd recommend working with Margaret to anyone."   
​          ~ Amy MacDonald, Executive Director, DaPonte String Quartet

"Margaret created a useful and detailed development plan and timeline that helped us take advantage of matching funds for a capital campaign and reach our fundraising goals.”

"We were a real start-up, and Margaret helped us prioritize a list of foundations that would most likely award us grants.  She wrote the grant that helped us build capacity to increase staffing and other important needs, and she also helped us reframe our budget in a way that funders expect and understand."
