We started the Newton Education Foundation 15 years ago but could never grow it beyond a small group of donors. We brought Gail in to relaunch NEF and, in just one year, she has made it an integral part of our community and raised well over $400,000. Having someone with so much education foundation experience meant we were laser focused on what worked and that made things move efficiently and effectively.”
— Loucy Hay, Board Chair and Founder, Newton Education Foundation
Inter Atlanta FC wanted to better support the organization through a time of expansion. Gail worked with the board governance committee to review and revise the organization’s bylaws, policies, committee structure and process for recruiting new board members.
The all-volunteer board for The Foundation for MERS needed a plan to expand its impact after the pandemic. Gail provided strategic organizational development including board training, planning retreat facilitation, policy development, bylaw review, and strategic goal setting.
The leaders of Step Ahead Scholars reached out to Gail for help with their College Access program. Gail helped them see things strategically and to create and implement budget goals and a fundraising strategy.
Liv Gifford connected with Gail by way of webinars presented through the National Association of Education Foundations. She participated in a group Gail facilitated on leadership for equity.
