What People Are Saying

 

Melanie is a rare sort of professional that could only exist with years of practice and a deep dedication to personal authenticity and community. In my eyes, she is an expert at balancing formality with kindness, insight with joy, and attention to detail with steady clarity. Nothing but quality relationships make this work possible. You will be so glad you chose to count on Melanie and her team.

— Léo Tucker, Director, Arkansas Immigrant Defense

 

We worked with [Melanie] on a critical contract proposal. I was blown away by the proposal the MPC team put together. It was truly world class, extremely high quality, and was far better than anything our team could have created on our own. Furthermore, having her and her team lead the process made all of our lives easier. If you’re in the business of submitting contract or grant proposals, it's hard for me to imagine a better group to have involved.

— Brett Amerine, Managing Director, Startup Junkie Consulting, LLC

 

Melanie is an expert in her field. She is a strong communicator, well-organized, and works with a collaborative and enthusiastic spirit. She offers candid and comprehensive guidance, ensuring we submit the most compelling grant application possible. We enjoy working with Melanie whenever the opportunity arises.

— Emily Ironside, Head of Philanthropic Strategy, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

We believe in the transformational power of fundraising.

Strategic, effective fundraising requires community leadership, vision, planning, and execution. Our team brings passion and perspective to the process.
