Hi, I'm Shoshana! Driven by a lifelong commitment to tikun olam (โheal the worldโ), I help: * ๐๐๐ & ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ teams exceed their annual fundraising goals without working themselves to the bone. (Results include growing clientsโ grant funding from $15k to $300k over two years and 10xยดing their individual donations.) * ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ achieve profit AND purpose without spending their entire budget on a consultant. (Results include corporate projects designed and launched.) WHY IT WORKS: This is about giving your team the exact direction, know-how, tools, and personalized feedback you need to succeed today and for years to come (it's not about doing it FOR you). Itโs about giving you my 20 years of experience bringing social impact to lifeโ working at local NGOs in Mexico and Kenya, the largest USAID contractor, the Inter-American Development Bank, and companies like Danone. Itโs about baking in mindful leadership. And we work in English or Spanish. ๐ซ WHAT OTHERS SAY: โBy working with Shoshana, we captured well over $300,000 last year, surpassing our goal by almost $150,000. The tools, organization and systems she uses are some of the most effective I have ever seen. I cannot recommend her highly enough.โ - Erin Mooney, Exec. Director, Natรผn โShoshana is widely acknowledged in my network as one of the best in the field for making the fundraising process actionable and accessible for any organization.โ - Cat Goyak, Founder, AlbaNueva โShoshana's support was crucial to kick-off our early-stage social impact project. I absolutely recommend other companies get her support.โ - Elisabetta Piazza, Sustainability Specialist, Mediterranean Shipping Company โAfter my first strategy session with Shoshana, I implemented that strategy with at least 3 funders, one of which turned into a $50,000 grant in less than 3 months!โ - Dana, Global nonprofit โYour approach is kind.โ - Omidyar grantee MOMENTS IN MY CAREER I MOST CHERISH: ๐ฏ Raising the $$ for the work that ended the sale of girls into marriage in 7 communities in Mexico. ๐ฏ Tutoring Danone, Panera and the Mediterranean Shipping Company in the WBCSD incubator, to transform their social impact ideas into tangible projects. ๐ฏ Designing grants at the IDB that became tangible projects enabling low-income households to access insurance. ๐ ๐น๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ป๐ถ ๐ด๐จ๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ด๐ท๐จ๐ช๐ป?
