"Anita provided thoughtful, highly tailored trainings to our development team and board that helped us map out both immediate next steps and a long-term path forward for our young but rapidly growing organization. Thanks to her, we have a better understanding of how to build relationships with corporate partners and engage our board in donor stewardship and cultivation in a way that takes advantage of the diverse gifts we bring to this work. We appreciated the experience, practicality, and high degree of cultural responsiveness Anita brought to our sessions, and highly recommend her for any organization that is looking to take the fear out of fundraising and customize a development plan in which everyone has a role that fits their strengths."
-Amber Reed, President, AAPI New Jersey
"Anita is one of the most talented fundraising professionals that I've worked with! While she was the Chief Development Officer at America Needs You, she helped to transform a local program with limited budget into a national organization with a sustainable developmental strategy. Her brilliant mind is matched by her work ethic. She sets a strong example and inspires those around her."

-Isha Haley, former Managing Director, National Urban Fellows
"Many nonprofits wish they had more effective boards, and I'd recommend they seek Anita's help.

I have always admired her consistency, drive, and commitment to achieving a broad set of goals."
