Unlock the transformation-level support that matches

your vision.

Fundraising and growth strategy for ambitious nonprofits.

Your organization needs big support for your big goals.

​

And another gala, giving day,

or marketing push will only get you so far.

 

The reality is more support doesn't have to mean more tactics.
I help organizations zero in on the opportunities that will bring significantly more investment.

​

And, together, we can get your organization fully backed.

​​

What will change when we get your organization fully backed:

→ Funders will see themselves in your vision and want to invest in it.
 

→ Your board will be advocates, not gatekeepers.
 

→ Your team will have the mindset and muscle to raise substantially more dollars without substantially more effort.
 

→ Your reputation will grow as people see the true value you offer.

Path to fully backed
Angela Marino, organizational narrative and strategy consultant
Trusted by many nonprofit organizations

Hi, I’m Angela Marino.


And I help nonprofit leaders earn transformation-level support.

​

I spent 18 years leading communications, fundraising, and growth efforts at United Way of Greater St. Louis, so I understand firsthand the challenge of raising significant support for complex organizations at the center of community change.

Today, I work with nonprofit CEOs whose organizations are doing meaningful work, but have a vision for impact that needs more buy-in, more support, and more investment.

​

Together, we focus on what will make the biggest difference by bringing strategy, fundraising, and story together to attract significantly greater investment in your organization.

​

Asking more often or asking "better" won't build a fully backed organization.

​

That only happens when people can finally see, believe in, and want to be part of what you're building.

​​

Leading a nonprofit’s growth today is about way more than fundraising tactics.

​

It requires bringing your strategy, fundraising, and story together in a way that strengthens your team, activates your board, and gives funders a reason to believe in the future of your organization.

​

​When people understand the true value you bring and how they fit into what you're building, they become your partners. They back you.

 

You're building something big. I can help you get there.
