“I was so pleased that we asked Yolanda to write the case statement for the campaign to strengthen our school’s STEAM program! She held two focus groups with our stakeholders, and thanks to her excellent facilitation of those conversations we learned vital information about what they thought was important, which changed the nature of our proposal.

With a strong case statement grounded in our vision and our community members’ priorities, we were able to raise 75% of our goal within six months before the pandemic forced us to pause active fundraising.”

— Marcela Hahn, Vice President for Development, Bank Street College

“What I needed and got from Yolanda was clear direction for setting and meeting my near-term fundraising goals. The unanticipated bonus is how Yolanda’s process has made me a more creative and effective fundraiser.”

— Jennilie Brewster, Director, Open Doors

“I have heard nothing but positive feedback from the fellows and we are so grateful for her time. The conversation continued after she left and she certainly sparked that!”

“I am so impressed by Yolanda’s expertise in fundraising and events management, that I honestly believe she has the ability to run a small country!”

— Mark Castillo, Chief Marketing Officer, IBC Shell Packaging and Member, Board of Trustees, De La Salle Academy
