Testimonials

FEATURED

I was so pleased that we asked Yolanda to write the case statement for the campaign to strengthen our school’s STEAM program! She held two focus groups with our stakeholders, and thanks to her excellent facilitation of those conversations we learned vital information about what they thought was important, which changed the nature of our proposal.

With a strong case statement grounded in our vision and our community members’ priorities, we were able to raise 75% of our goal within six months before the pandemic forced us to pause active fundraising.


— Marcela Hahn, Vice President for Development, Bank Street College

What I needed and got from Yolanda was clear direction for setting and meeting my near-term fundraising goals. The unanticipated bonus is how Yolanda’s process has made me a more creative and effective fundraiser.

— Jennilie Brewster, Director, Open Doors

I am so impressed by Yolanda’s expertise in fundraising and events management, that I honestly believe she has the ability to run a small country!

End of Year with WID - 2020

2020 has been an unprecedented year, to say the least. Yet, I am very proud that Women In Development (WID), NY has risen to the occasion of continuing to lead the way for women in our profession during these strange times.
