What Nonprofits are Saying

I have had the privilege of working with Sarah Melinger across two organizations, and I can confidently say she has given me a PhD in nonprofit management and donor relations. Sarah does not just lay the groundwork—she has empowered me with the knowledge and tools to thrive independently. It’s the difference between giving a gal a fish and teaching her to fish—her guidance ensures long-term sustainability, not just short-term fixes.
