“Ali supported SYSO’s development efforts at a critical juncture for the organization. As Interim Development Director, Ali was deftly able to manage the development team on a day-to-day basis while also providing strategic consulting to the organizational leadership. The results of Ali’s six-month tenure were vast for such a short period of time. They included guiding staff and board to achieve a successful anniversary gala; creating a two-year development plan; advising on imperative donor-building systems and infrastructure; leading a major donor solicitation training for board and staff; advising on the hiring of the permanent Director of Development; and overall, instilling a positive culture of philanthropy among the team. Ali has set up SYSO for success - because of Ali we now have a strong foundation upon which to launch significant contributed revenue growth. ”

“With a brand new development strategy and no previous footsteps to follow, fundraising felt like an overwhelming challenge for our small team of two. With Ali’s help, we were able to create an organized plan to divide and conquer, allowing our team to accomplish a great deal regardless of limited resources and set a solid foundation for future success. Ali is an amazing strategic partner, who not only creates critical change and finds method in the madness, but goes above and beyond to champion our team’s accomplishments and support our organizational goals.”

“Compass Housing Alliance partnered with Ali to help us asses our fundraising department and to build a comprehensive development plan that leveraged our strengths and addressed our weaknesses. The process was very smooth and well thought out. Ali is a strategic thinker, a gracious coach, and is incredibly knowledgeable. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to get a big return on their investment.”

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Ali for the past 10 years. There is no one who is a better strategic partner and fundraising relationship coach and guide. She works beautifully with all skill levels and instinctively attunes to your hopes and dreams for making a better world. She is the consummate professional - deeply respectful and truly joyful about connecting people, resources, and missions”
