Christine Margiotta

Executive Director
Social Justice Partners Los Angeles
“This program is a game-changer for nonprofit leaders interested in growing their impact. It provides the framework, reflection, and concrete action-planning to take fundraising to the next level. I cannot recommend it highly enough!”
Amber Skrumbis

Director of Development
Camino Nuevo Charter Academy
“Development departments in social justice organizations are often teams of one. But it’s so important to have a supportive network for bouncing ideas off of one another, supporting each other during hard times or busy campaigns and having a cohort of people who can relate to you.”
Lissa Morales

Development Director
CARECEN
“This has been such a transformative training for us. One exciting thing it’s made possible is more involvement from our leadership and especially our board. I was nervous about how to bring them in, but using our coaching sessions with Amita as a way to engage the conversation really helped. “
Ana Aguirre

Development and Compliance Manager
New Village Girls Academy
“Our coaching sessions helped our team create donor portfolios for the first time. Now my ED and I tag team: I do the research and figure out how to get her face time with donors, and she focuses on building genuine connections that can move our work forward.”
Barbara Baldwin

Board Member
Pasadena Altadena Coalition of Transformative Leaders
“The program helps us create a really organized, step-by-step plan, rather than just throwing darts randomly at a board. We now have a roadmap as a very small team of board and staff members.”
Tony LoRe

Founding President
Youth Mentoring Connection
“I’ve been through a lot of trainings, but this really deepened my understanding of fundraising -- not only reminding me of things I’d forgotten (like the importance of going back to lapsed donors), but also teaching me new strategies (like looking at foundation 990s or being aware of DAFs). The coaching sessions with Laura, combined with having a ready and eager board, are helping me put the things we’ve learned in this program into action urgently (but without overwhelming ourselves).”
