Customized thought partnership, facilitation, or training to expand your organization’s resources, strategy, and capacity

I offer a range of customized disability access-centered consulting, facilitation, training, and public speaking services to groups and organizations across a range of social justice issues and strategies.

Consulting & Facilitation

  • Have you ever wanted to “pick someone’s brain” for an hour or two? I advise on grant making and program strategy, individual and institutional fundraising, community engagement, nonprofit management, disability access, and more. Services include virtual discussions and feedback with the option to expand into an ongoing consulting relationship.

  • Do you already have a fundraising, grant writing, needs assessment, or evaluation project or goals in mind? I offer community and nonprofit resource mobilization, qualitative and quantitative research, and disability care coordination and access planning. Services include all aspects of project development and management, with an emphasis on partnership, collaboration, and capacity building.

  • With a style that fosters flexibility, interaction, idea generation, and collective access, I partner with groups and organizations to create and facilitate effective virtual and in-person meetings and gatherings. Services include agenda development and preparation, meeting facilitation, and post-event reporting and follow-up.

Training & Public Speaking

  • I create and facilitate interactive and engaging virtual and in-person training and professional development sessions on a wide range of topics related to philanthropy and grant making, fundraising and grant writing, disability justice, reproductive justice, LGBTQ communities and issues, prison industrial complex (PIC) abolition, mental health, community organizing and mutual aid, and adoption / adoptee issues.

  • I bring virtual and in-person keynote talks and guest lectures of any length to a variety of community and academic environments. While my most requested topics are about the intersection of disability, organizing, and collective care, I can prepare for audiences on any topic listed under “Training & Professional Development”.

  • I am available as a speaker or moderator for in-person or virtual participation in your conference or panel for any of the topics listed under “Training & Professional Development”.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I have been working and volunteering in and alongside nonprofit, philanthropic, and community organizations for almost 20 years. In that time, I’ve been an educator, facilitator, strategist, administrator, fundraiser, grantmaker, and leader around racial, gender, disability, immigration, reproductive, birth, and healing justice.

    I also went to grad school for social work, public health, and nonprofit management; completed fellowships with Rockwood Leadership and NYU’s Wagner School; and have participated in additional training with AORTA, Training for Change, Reframe Health and Justice, TRACC4Movements, Mental Health First Aid, and the Certified Life Coach Institute.

  • I offer sliding scale fees for all consulting, coaching, and care services. For groups and organizations, this is based on budget, from less than $100K to more than $5M. For individuals, this is self-designated and usually includes three levels (solidarity, true cost, & redistribution).

  • Consulting, training, and speaking services are possible for in-person participation, as long as certain COVID protection practices are implemented. Depending on the location, I may also require travel, lodging, meals, and other incidentals as part of the contract negotiation process.

    Thought partnership, coaching, and grief care are currently offered virtually for new clients, with some availability for in-person group grief care for social justice and movement formations.

  • Yes, definitely! My goal is meeting your consulting, coaching, and care support needs, so I’m happy to combine services in a way that balances budget, goals, and capacity. For example, I’ve combined public keynotes with small-group discussions, consulting projects with coaching sessions, and trainings with grief / loss care.
