Kit possesses deep knowledge of nonprofit management.

This comes from her decades of leadership of Raw Art Works, which during her tenure developed a well-deserved reputation as one of the premier youth development organizations in Massachusetts. While many consultants can claim to understand the ingredients of an effective organization, how to develop an aspirational vision and make it a reality, build and staff a strong board of directors, design and facilitate an excellent planning process, formulate and execute a successful fundraising plan, cultivate donors, research and write grants, or coach an executive director, Kit is the real deal. She has the experience, talent, temperament, fortitude, and interpersonal skills that every nonprofit organization will benefit from.

I had the pleasure of working with Kit for over eight years. She taught me everything I know about development and was a wonderful mentor. She has a deep understanding of the work, and is incredibly passionate.

Kit’s expertise, dedication, and strategic approach to fundraising propelled Raw Art Works to new heights, impacting the community in a meaningful way. Her commitment to the mission was contagious and the relationships she built and nourished inspired thousands of people to support the work.

Kit is not just a consultant; she is a true partner in the journey towards positive change.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kit through her entire tenure as the Founding Executive Director of Raw Art Works. I witnessed her ability to take on and master new roles far beyond her training and early professional identity as an arts therapist.

Kit has a natural understanding of philanthropic relations from her graduate training as an art therapist. Her “right brain” orientation makes her a thoughtful, creative, instinctive thinker that is balanced by a strong “left brain” set of skills and attention to detail that allow her to build processes and structures effectively. Kit developed the fundraising and operational infrastructure, from finance to HR to facilities that allowed Raw Art Works to become the successful, thriving organization it is today.

What I most appreciate about Kit, though, is her earnest dedication to mission and to the teams and individuals with whom she works. She energizes and empowers those around her with her positive, enthusiastic attitude, and moves the work forward through a combination of intelligence and optimism coupled with a great sense of humor! Kit always goes “above and beyond.”

I worked with Kit at Raw Art Works for six years as she led RAW and I served as Grants Manager. In my current role at Young Man with a Plan in Boston I’m leading the planning and structuring of HR and financial systems as we become our own 501c3. This is new territory for me, and Kit was the first person to whom I reached out for consulting help. I knew her advice would draw upon her years of experience at both the strategic and detail level. I also knew Kit would listen closely to our needs, be thoughtful in her guidance, and deliver great quality work that has helped inform the design of finance and HR tools and processes. Thank you, Kit!
