Colleagues,

Welcome and Bienvenidos!  I believe fundraising is beautiful. It's the power of people to do good with money. It's a unique and transformational gift in our society. I am grounded in the practices of relationship based fundraising and respect for Development Officers and Donors. 
I am a unique fundraiser in a range of ways and I believe  that this experience allows me to provide some key services that few other fundraising consultants can offer. 

​These Include:
+ 40 Years in Fundraising at Ivy League Colleges to very small nonprofits
+  I have experience with very large institutions, medium and small nonprofits. 
+ As a proud Chicano, I bring a unique racial justice and equity lens to all my work
+ Deep knowledge of prospect research and prospecting
​+ Direct experience fundraising all over the US
+ I teach practical skills , not theory or trends

​
Services I Offer
  • Development Officer Search and Hiring
  • Building New Major Gifts Programs
  • Equity and Diversity in Fundraising
  • Full Team Prospecting Live Training’s 
  • General Fundraising Consulting
 Lets talk about your nonprofits needs and how I might be able to help. 
​Talk to you soon!


Armando

Why the Hummingbird? 
The Colibri as we call this beautiful creature in spanish touches my culture and my message as a fundraiser. The Colibri is a messenger from our ancestors, is a Yaqui symbol of perseverance and strength even in the harshest conditions.
