FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL

Danielle founded and leads the DMD Consulting group with the conviction that the nonprofits she serves have a mission far greater than any funding issue they may face. Danielle’s innate ability to make connections and solve problems is at the core of DMD Consulting and is the foundation upon which all DMD services are built.

As a former Director of Advancement for Cristo Rey Brooklyn HS and with twenty years of experience working in nonprofits–both on the program and business sides–Danielle has seen the landscape evolve, especially for Catholic Schools. With nonprofits’ greater need to bring in outside revenue and urgent opportunities for greater efficiency, Danielle guides organizations to establish successful fundraising systems that will endure even amidst the toughest fiscal climate.

The product of a strong private education herself–from St. Mary's Elementary and Sacred Heart Academy to The College of the Holy Cross and St John’s School of Law–Danielle understands the difference that a private, Catholic education can make. After building a foundation in law, Danielle discovered her passion for educational equality and shifted her focus to helping nonprofits develop sustainable fundraising models. She believes no child should be denied access to private schooling because of their family's financial challenges. Danielle continues this mission today with a growing list of clients and by serving on the Board of Trustees for Our Lady of Grace Montessori School. Danielle lives in Port Washington, NY with her husband and four children.
