Build the case for transformation-level support.

Positioning and growth strategy for complex nonprofits 
at the center of community change. 

Your organization needs big support for your big goals.

​

You have a capable team.
You know how to raise money.
You also see the potential for significantly greater support.

 

I help organizations make a stronger case for investment and identify strategic opportunities to attract larger, longer-term,
and unrestricted gifts. 

​

Together, we can get your organization fully backed.

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 one of the largest United Ways in the country, with work spanning local and national efforts. 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.

​

Attracting significantly greater investment takes more than asking more often or refining your asks.

​

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

​​

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 a stronger case and clearer direction for pursuing substantially greater support.
 

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

Path to fully backed

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.
