Testimonials
“I cannot speak highly enough of the invaluable support that Cristo Rey Boston has gotten through DMD Consulting. Danielle and her team’s expertise in grant writing and executive coaching has been transformative for our organization.
In partnership with DMD Consulting, our grant revenue has seen a remarkable increase, surpassing our set yearly goals. The team’s thoughtful approach has resulted in better written grant requests and deeper relationships with grant funders. We have also increased our capacity for research and developing relationships with potential new grant funders.
Personally, I have had the privilege of Danielle working closely with me as my executive coach. Her insights and guidance have been instrumental in refining the development strategies of Cristo Rey Boston. Furthermore, Danielle's mentorship has been pivotal in strengthening my own skills as a development director.
In summary, DMD Consulting's contributions to Cristo Rey Boston have been nothing short of exceptional. Their dedication, expertise, and passion for our cause have propelled our growth, and we are immensely grateful for their partnership.”

Director of Development
Cristo Rey Boston High School
“I've known Danielle for over 15 years. As principal at Cristo Rey New York, I hired and mentored her as a new teacher of American History. She thrived, enjoying the intellectual challenge and learning what effective teaching for our students requires. Danielle became a generous and energetic volunteer for all our major development events. There I saw for the first time her people skills, her understanding of how to articulate the mission to different audiences, and her very collaborative work style.
Since leaving CRNY to pursue her vigorous interest in the field of Advancement, Danielle worked her way through the roles and levels of responsibility in development teams including several years of service at Cristo Rey Brooklyn as the Director of Advancement, and as a long-term development consultant for the Cristo Rey Network. Over the years, Danielle has been a welcome and capable thought partner in strategy, event planning, and hosting. Her work has been critical in meeting our capital, programming, and long-term needs.
Danielle is a generous colleague, a highly skilled speaker and writer, and a long-time believer in and supporter of our shared mission.”

“Danielle and her team were very helpful to our Board of Directors, particularly our newest members. Fundraising can be daunting, but the strategies shared were informative and presented in an easily digestible, challenging yet fun manner. DMD Consulting would be a great resource for those looking to learn anything from basic to higher-level strategic fundraising as an individual or collective body.”

“Danielle has been a reliable and dynamic consultant to work with over the past few years, providing workshops, retreats, and bespoke coaching to our Nonprofit Partners. Any time I connect with her about a board or development team looking for support, she becomes incredibly excited to get to know the organization and people, and problem-solve with her deep set of tools. Throughout each of her engagements with our Nonprofit Partners, she remains highly communicative, ensuring the projects remain on track and that we know the best way to further support once they have been completed.”

“While still fairly new in my role as Director of Advancement at Cristo Rey Brooklyn (CRB) High School, it has not taken me long to recognize the major impact Danielle has played in the long-term success of CRB's fundraising operation. And it is easy to see why: Danielle is smart, driven, and has a heart for the mission. I am excited to continue working with her and her team, and recommend them highly.”
— Brian Daley
Director of Advancement
Cristo Rey Brooklyn High School
“I have been fortunate and blessed to know, partner, volunteer, and work with Danielle through a variety of advancement endeavors. She has always brought her “A” game to the parishes, high schools, and colleges she serves. The “A” is defined by her authenticity, attention to detail, and adeptness to manage any challenge expected and/or unexpected. She is one that immerses herself in the mission of the not-for-profit she supports and is the consummate professional. More importantly, Danielle is a person of high character, with a commitment to serving her Jesuit mission in all she does professionally, personally, and philanthropically.”
