“Allison helped me clarify my values and develop goals around wealth redistribution and divestment from extractive financial markets. She listens deeply and articulates ideas I have had for years but couldn’t put into words. She helps to translate these ideas into giving strategies that have moved me toward my goals. In the past my approach was traditional and sporadic, and didn’t involve relationship building or power sharing. Allison has helped me take an engaged and relational approach. Her knowledge, experience, and professional networks have expanded my awareness of how I can engage and partner with movements and organizations meaningfully. Our work together has given me greater confidence and commitment to meet the challenging moment we are in.”

“Allison worked with us to design and facilitate two strategic planning retreats. Her approach is collaborative, flexible, and clear. Allison's deep experience facilitating cross-class, multiracial groups through the Giving Project model was a huge asset for our group. She was able to skillfully hold the big picture and the details.”

“Allison is a strategic leader and a dependable executor who can see a project from vision to impact. In our case, she came in as a Senior Consultant to help take a model from California and bring it to life in Minnesota. She is a partner to high-achieving leaders who brings her breadth of knowledge from philanthropy, organizing, operations and infrastructure, and fundraising to ensure project success. I would recommend Allison 100 times and wish I could work with her again.”

"Working with Allison was such an energizing experience. She brought a rare blend of deep strategic insight and values-rooted vision that aligned with the work at Common Counsel Foundation. Their process was thoughtful, inclusive, and grounded in a clear understanding of CCF’s mission and vision. With her support, CCF developed a potential actionable roadmap for donor engagement. Her commitment to social change isn’t just theoretical — it shows up in every question she asks, every decision she helps shape, and every strategy she helps build.”

“Allison is a rare kind of consultant: thoughtful, wise, and deeply attuned to the dynamics of change. Her work brings clarity and momentum to complex challenges. She leads with a deep belief in people’s power to make things better, and she builds processes, teams, and relationships that unlock that power. We’ve partnered with clients multiple times alongside Allison, and the reviews are always glowing. Her value shows up in so many ways: She facilitates with grace and precision, drawing out what’s under the surface and helping people make meaning together. She balances strategic thinking with an organizer’s heart and her ability to hold space while moving things forward is unmatched. Finally she is set apart by her connections. Allison is deeply rooted in a network of changemakers who are disrupting the status quo for justice. This ecosystem comes with her and strengthens every room she enters.”
