Founder and Principal

AnneMarie is a dynamic consultant who blends her entrepreneurial pursuits with over a decade of non-profit expertise. As a result, her approach is often measured, well thought out, and effectively delivered.

AnneMarie specializes in development strategy, revenue diversification and detailed strategic and operational planning. Her ability to pivot between these skills and assess personnel strengths and resources makes her invaluable to organizations in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors. She also possesses a unique passion for blending sports and philanthropy, as evidenced by her work across professional cycling, the NFL, and the NBA.

Strategic Planning

As experienced consultants, we bring a fresh and independent perspective on how we look at each client’s business. This also means we have to be open to building the path as we uncover the needs and gaps within their organization. Once we are clear on your goals, we combine personal experience with proven methods and tools to support smart decision making.

Program Development

We have over a decade’s worth of experience taking big ideas and transforming them into actionable programs that get results! In these types of projects, we know our job is to wear ALL THE HATS – critical interviewer, compassionate people manager, eager supporter, detailed project manager, mindful marketer, and keen evaluator. Perfect for new programs or programs that need to be revitalized!

Events &
Retreats

Do you have an event that is underperforming and in need of some fresh ideas and energy? Perhaps you know you need a constituent gathering to build engagement but you are struggling to define the goals and programming? Or maybe your Board is far overdue for a strategic retreat? We can help with all of that! From event conception to design and production, we offer a full service approach to events.

Sport Philanthropy

We work with athletes, leagues, and organizations who want to use their athletic channel or platform for the common good. We aim to make athletic philanthropy more impactful and heartfelt by listening to an athlete’s goals, providing honest feedback and delivering options for engagement and elevation in the areas that matter most to them.

As an emerging fundraiser in a small but rapidly growing non-profit, I have found AnneMarie’s guidance and expertise to be invaluable.
