Our Clients

Melissa did am amazing job conducting a feasibility study for my organization (Community Land Trust of West Marin). I was impressed with her extensive knowledge, experience, and skill in not only conducting the study, but in helping us clarify our goals and vision, and listening to all of the different perspectives that members of our team brought to the project. Melissa was a pleasure to work with, and was always responsive to our questions, concerns and shifts in our project timeline.

We had the opportunity to work with Melissa during a campaign feasibility study for our organization. Our team greatly valued her leadership, professionalism, and ability to keep everyone on task. We left every meeting with a sense of direction and clarity on the next steps. In addition, we received very positive feedback from our stakeholders who participated in the study. We hope to continue working with her in the future!

I had the privilege to work closely with Melissa over the last 7 years and can attest to her excellent skills as a consultant and business leader. She played a critical role as our Senior Managing Associate at PRG and led fundraising projects large and small with grace and efficiency. I would highly recommend her for your next fundraising adventure whether it be preparing for a large capital initiative or training your board and team for effective solicitations, or anything in between. She will be a key to your success.

Working with Marcella has been one of the best investments Canal Alliance has made in our development program. Since 2023, she has helped us meaningfully grow our major gift fundraising capacity—bringing both the strategic vision to see what's possible and the hands-on expertise to build the systems and processes that make it sustainable. She's reliable, creative, and somehow makes the hard work of fundraising feel energizing.

We are grateful for the wisdom that Melissa and Marcella brought during our work through a feasibility study and launch of our capital campaign. Their expertise, thoughtfulness, and deep understanding of our mission helped us gain clarity, confidence, and momentum. They are trusted partners who have helped guide us with both strategy and heart. We are deeply grateful for their leadership and support at this pivotal moment for our organization
