Supporting Nonprofits to Maximize Impact

"In my journey as a President and Executive Director of Data You Can Use, the road to successful fundraising and capacity building has been markedly enhanced by our collaboration with Momentum Non-Profit Strategies. Their expertise in not only crafting but also in securing grants and sponsorships has been pivotal. The name 'Momentum' truly encapsulates the experience; once their strategies were set into motion, we witnessed a transformative surge in approvals and support. The invaluable guidance from Amanda has not only enriched our annual event but has also expanded my personal horizon in the fundraising realm. Their dedication to our cause and unparalleled expertise underscores why I would wholeheartedly recommend Momentum to any non-profit seeking to elevate their fundraising endeavors."

"It is truly a pleasure to engage with such a pleasant, intentional, and impactful business owner. The past two years have truly been a game changer for Lead2Change. Hiring someone to manage grants is new for our organization and a decision that has reaped tremendous benefit. In two short years our grant engagement has increased by nearly 30 percent and we've been exposed to new grant opportunities to include a major government grant. Amanda has also become a very integral thought leader in the organization as we plan for engagement with donors and volunteers. She is truly a pleasure to work with and we are happy to have her as part of our team."

"I had the honor of working with Amanda Garry Aliperta as we planned Milwaukee Christian Center's first major fundraiser, celebrating the agency's 100th Anniversary celebration. There were a lot of firsts we needed to navigate in terms of pulling together a volunteer committee that assisted efforts and orchestrating what a virtual fundraiser would look like. Amanda was an excellent resource to focus efforts which included oversight of our volunteer committee, the auction, and working out logistics of what staff needed to pay attention to as we prepared for the event. The advice went a long way and I am proud to say we surpassed our fundraising goal in a year that forced us to do a virtual presentation of our mission."

- Karen Higgins, Executive Director

Milwaukee Christian Center

"I forget that Amanda is a consultant because working with Momentum is like working with people who have been my colleagues from the start, and truly a collaborative partnership. Shortly after I reached out to Momentum, Amanda jumped in with both feet and shared the same enthusiasm and passion for our mission. Amanda and her colleague, Jackie, easily and strategically navigate complex grant processes, always staying on task. I would not hesitate to recommend Momentum to any organization in need of grant writing services."

"Partnering with Amanda has been a game changer for ABCD: After Breast Cancer Diagnosis. Not only has she introduced our organization to new grant-making options and strengthened existing ones, but just as importantly, she has provided a fresh perspective on our overall positioning that has been helpful not only for grants, but for other areas of the organization as well. This is the first time we have hired an outside grant manager, and she has set the bar very high. Amanda is an authentic leader who brings her very best self to every meeting and to every grant she is helping us create. She is a smart, strategic, and forward-thinking professional who has helped elevate ABCD’s fundraising potential now and in the future."
