    – Yamilée Toussaint, Founder & CEO of STEM from Dance

    – Emily Norton, Executive Director of Charles River Watershed Association

  • Modern office with glass partition wall, desks, office chairs, and computers.

    "There are many tangible outputs that have allowed us to shift this narrative [of needing general operating revenue]. It's the framing that is putting [the project work] in a larger context...Honestly, you gave me the framing and language to be able to tell that story to funders."

    – Eve Turow-Paul, Founder & Executive Director of Food for Climate League

  • A bright and cozy home office or dining space with a white table, a pink mug emitting steam, an open laptop, a tablet, and a green potted plant near a window with sunlight streaming in.

    "What's amazing to me is that now we're having different conversations with our donors. They're responding generously and growing their gifts from hundreds to thousands."

    – Amy Fass, CEO & Executive Director of Shoes That Fit

  • Modern office workspace with large windows, desks, chairs, and computer monitors, decorated with plants and a large green wall.

    "I think this [increase of non-governmental funding] shows that the model works, that our time with our donors also works,…that they’re really excited for our work and love seeing what their investment is going towards."
