What Our Clients Are Saying
“I’ve seen Maleka mentor younger professionals for years, particularly in development and finance. She also worked to increase diversity and expertise on our board. We’re a better organization for it!” — Matthew Boulay - Founder, National Summer Learning Association
“After we were forced to cancel our annual dinner because of COVID-19, Avenues For Justice retained Maleka Lawrence to lead a virtual Board-Directed Fundraising Campaign intended to fill the gap. In short order, Maleka created a strategy, designed the campaign, produced the online content, implemented all the necessary technology and spoke individually with all board members to put them in the best position to succeed with their fundraising efforts. She was organized, responsive and professional throughout. As a result of her efforts, our campaign exceeded our revenue targets. We intend to continue to work with Maleka on future fundraising efforts.” — Staff - Avenues for Justice
“Maleka is undoubtedly one of the brightest minds in the non-profit development world that I have ever encountered. Her passion for education and social justice work shine through in everything that she does and her leadership, guidance and strategic thinking were critical to helping my organization, DREAM, move forward during and after the pandemic. She consulted with our CEO and leaders on the Advancement team and helped us navigate re-imagining what a sustainable major gifts program should look like, no easy task for a 32 year old non-profit with an annual $20M private raise, and I couldn't recommend her more to any prospective clients looking for help with their fundraising, board management, donor relations efforts and so much more.” — The Development Team, DREAM
“Kayle is a great writer! She was very knowledgeable about DCYAF which was critical for us during the grant writing process.” — Masonic Center for Youth and Families
