WE MOVE MOUNTAINS
TO SCALE YOUR MISSION
“From day one, Michelle was scrappy, adaptable, and resilient, leading to surpassing the most ambitious fundraising campaign in our history by $250,000, beyond the $12.5MM goal...”
"Our fundraising increased YOY with 30% more new donors and an overall increase in donor giving of 9%." Emphasizing her exceptional qualities, Greene states, "Michelle possesses an exceptional level of 'divine discontent,'” and her pursuit of excellence is relentless as she "consistently seeks improvement for herself, her team, and the entire organization." Under Michelle's guidance, her team's effectiveness soared as she "reorganized her team, recruited and trained more staff," and led with "passion, determination, thoughtfulness, and grace." Michelle's leadership was instrumental in achieving these remarkable results.”

“Michelle provided a level of support I’ve never experienced before.
Partnering with her enabled me to focus and allocate my time to my strengths in the most impactful places. As we looked ahead for our second year as an organization, we had many needs to keep the Denver Basic Income Project working efficiently. Within just a few short months, Michelle had implemented and streamlined CRM along with new team systems & processes, as well as securing $5 million in funding from both local government & private donors.
Michelle and her team are exceptionally organized and disciplined. They are aware of the challenges that come with running a nonprofit with a small team and are quick to implement solutions that make sense and foster long term efficiency. If you’re looking for a partner to support all the aspects of fundraising and operating your nonprofit to scale, Michelle is the partner to have!”
Mark Donovan
Executive Director - Denver Basic Income Project
"Within a few short months working with Michelle, we had an analysis of mission-aligned major funders that would ensure we were engaging with the right individuals. We needed to raise an additional $30 million to reach our goal and we benefited from Michelle's expertise and ability to both execute critical initiatives and drive the fundraising work."
