Kelli has a unique gift of cultivating relationships to move an organization forward and understands the importance of those relationships to bolster an organization’s sustainability. Beyond that, Kelli maintains long term relationships simply because people become friends with her, whether or not she is working on a project that involves them. Clients value the sincerity, humility, perspective and experience she brings to every endeavor. We have great synergy and I look forward to many more years of fruitful collaboration.  I do not see her ever slowing down because of her passion for supporting nonprofits in achieving their mission.

Kelli of Donor Synergy Consulting supported our organization at a crucial point in time, helping us to exceed our fundraising goals for our annual event. Kelli picked up our plans and started sprinting as we moved toward our event. She was agile, had great ideas, executed well, was a strong communicator and was an incredible partner to ensure our success. Kelli’s ability to connect with others, quickly understand organizations and move them forward would be an asset to any nonprofit!

I have known Kelli for more than 20 years and am inspired by her giftedness and reliability. She knows philanthropy and her skill sets in the area of mission advancement are impeccable.

Kelli is not only committed to service. She is an individual who represents herself well and any organization fortunate enough to work with her. I would highly recommend Kelli at Donor Synergy Consulting.

Kelli has the essential skills to develop meaningful, long-term relationships with donors and she’s an attentive listener who works hard for her cause.

I’ve witnessed how Kelli motivates a sizable group of people to achieve ambitious goals. She’s a professional who understands the business world as well as the dynamics of a non-profit. I served as chair of a fundraising event for a well-known Washington, DC area non-profit.

Kelli’s leadership elevated the event to levels not seen in 37 years. Her heart is in the right place and her results speak volumes!

Our team had the opportunity to work with Kelli and Donor Synergy Consulting to launch our Capital Campaign Committee. Kelli brings a keen understanding of major gifts moves management and knowledge of relationship-building strategies built from several decades of development work. Her efforts in setting up the structure of our committee, including defined roles, goals, regular meetings and communications, were instrumental to the successful launch of this important group of volunteer leaders. With Kelli’s support, the committee met their first year goals and has great momentum for the coming year.  I am grateful to Kelli for her valuable perspective and guidance.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Kelli since 2015 while serving as a board member for a human service nonprofit in Northern VA, where she was part of the development leadership team.

She has that unique combination of professional competencies, soft skills, and emotional intelligence that make her insightful and valuable to those who she works with. She is consistent and has succeeded in the most challenging of circumstances with superior results.

Working with Kelli for several years as a fundraising committee member, and then as a co-chair of the committee for one of the organization’s largest fundraisers. Kelli’s leadership assisted the organization in increasing its fundraising efforts by more than 400% over a few years.

She is devoted and passionate about an organization’s mission – fostering the linkages that further growth for an organization. Kelli has the vision, experience, and organizational acumen to be able to effectively analyze, understand, and assess the intricate moving parts across organizational boundaries. She has a unique ability to solicit a “large ask” of a potential donor in a gentle manner. Kelli and Donor Synergy Consulting would instantly add value to any organization that hires their consultancy services.
