What Our Partners Say

  • A woman with shoulder-length dark hair smiling outdoors in front of green leafy bushes.

    "As a the founder and executive director of a small nonprofit, I wear many hats. It sometimes felt like I was having to choose between doing the work of our nonprofit and doing the work of fundraising so that we could continue our impact work. Being able to work with someone like Kelsey who understood the fundraising process and could help streamline our fundraising strategy as well as manage all the small details freed me up so I could spend more time executing on our impact work and fundraising."

    Sarah, Founder and Executive Director, Sidekick Education
