Jennifer Tersigni is a miracle worker! Picture a coalition of government and non-profit leaders, all on shoestring budgets, attempting to address longstanding community problems involving service delivery to certain vulnerable populations. Someone had the good sense to bring in Raise the Bar, and over a period of about three years, the coalition was successful in getting federal and foundation grants amounting to millions of dollars. A lot of good work was done thanks to Jennifer and her staff - work that would have been impossible without significant funding.

Jennifer leads Raise the Bar Consulting from the front. Her ability to analyze non-profit or for-profit organizations' current state and find ways to improve efficiencies and drive growth is simply outstanding. When it comes to helping non-profits entities, she knows how to work the red carpet with major donors. She knows the intricacies of capital campaigns. Beyond those skills, she is a digital expert that understands how to democratize giving through recurring smaller donations.

Jennifer and Raise the Bar Consulting are also really helpful to have around during large or small organizational transformations. It's rare to have a consultant that knows digital and organizational transformation. Jennifer has a deep understanding of both, and her collaborative style is sure to help you meet your goals. Moreover, she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Bigger is not better. Better is better. I highly recommend Raise the Bar Consulting.

When my organization needed extra grant writing capacity during our busy season, my first thought was: Raise the Bar Consulting. Jennifer brings decades of experience in nonprofit fundraising and leadership, as well as a rigorous commitment to quality. The RTB team was professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with, and did a great job for us when we were in a pinch.

Jennifer Tersigni infuses Raise the Bar with passion, intelligence, and a commitment to do whatever it takes to help nonprofits excel. As part of the Raise the Bar team, I've learned a great deal from her and have helped my clients move forward: The Colibrí Center for Human Rights, Aviva Children's Services, the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, and others.
