NONPROFIT LEADERS
We loved working with Hilary and found her particularly helpful in our evaluation of existing programs. She was great at pulling our various team members and departments together and creating the space for really meaningful and productive discussions. We are in the early stages of implementing the plans she helped us develop and we are already starting to see the positive results – both in terms of fulfilling our mission and in terms of building revenue to support our work.
Dave Herring, Executive Director, Wolfe's Neck Center for Farming and Agriculture
Working with Hilary gave us tremendous insight into getting past growth hurdles in our organization. She has a wonderful balance of tact and honesty while bringing years of revenue strategy experience into the equation. I truly believe our end product as a result of having worked with Hilary will enable us to grow our impact in a way that was not possible before. Our organization is more cohesive and prepared for the future as a result of this work.
Shawn Meynard, Program Manager, Seacoast Eat Local
Using your process was so important and helped us to really envision what we needed to do to be sustainable as a non-profit, and since our work with you this fall, we have made steady progress towards the important goal we identified of moving from 90% philanthropy and 10% paid contracts to a 50% 50% split.

Hilary pushed my organization to think creatively about our financial goals and vision. Her style worked easily with all of my board members, and I learned a lot from her.
Jess Burton, Exec. Dir., Southern Maine Conservation Collaborative
Hilary was able to add a critical financial perspective to our strategic planning during an extremely challenging period of transition. We believe her business plan and multiyear budget projections, in addition to being greatly helpful to the organization, were a key component of our successful appeal to major donors for our Capital Campaign.
