"Ethos in Action's expertise in fundraising and development was instrumental in strengthening YWCA GLA's philanthropic efforts. Their strategic guidance helped us refine our fundraising approach, amplify board engagement, and reconnect with past donors in meaningful ways. One of Julia's most impactful contributions was the creation of Justice for Her, a Major Giving Circle that not only deepened donor engagement but also successfully raised over $100,000 in individual contributions in less than 6 months."

"Julia has been a guiding light to the Western Justice Center (WJC) in its fundraising and donor relations since she joined our team a few years ago. Julia delivered focus and strategy to create maximum impact with WJC's limited resources and small team. In the past two years while I served as Board President, Julia's work improved our fundraising results by more than 20% each year. Julia's insightful and impactful work has been a true blessing to WJC!"

"Julia has been more than a fundraising consultant—she's been a thought partner in the truest sense. Over the past three years, she has transformed how our organization thinks about philanthropy, helping us grow our annual fundraiser into a $900,000 flagship event, launch our first major giving circle, and build a culture of fundraising that permeates our board and leadership team. Her strategic acumen, empathy, and courage to challenge the status quo have elevated not just our results but the way we think as a team."

"Julia's 1:1 coaching has been a game-changer for me as a leader. Her strategic guidance and practical insights have helped me navigate complex challenges and lead with greater clarity and confidence. From creating our fundraising approach to enhancing board engagement, her support is going to make a lasting impact. Julia is more than a consultant—she's a trusted thought partner who brings deep expertise and genuine care to her work."

"As a former board member and supporter of City Year Los Angeles, I had the chance to work closely with Ariel and see her in action. She brings a rare mix of professionalism, warmth, and follow-through. Ariel made my experience as a donor deeply meaningful—from visiting the school I supported to hosting the AmeriCorps members at my office and hearing about their impact firsthand. As chair of the major giving society, I saw how her leadership inspired greater donor engagement and growth, with over 85% of major donors renewing or increasing their giving. Ariel builds trust, inspires generosity, and makes giving both personal and impactful."

"Chelsea is a strategic thought leader with a sharp eye for detail, blending long-term funding strategy with compelling, high-impact storytelling. As a grant writer and fundraiser, she excels at working cross-departmentally with leadership to surface organizational needs and translate complex work into compelling narratives that move missions forward. Her ability to align mission, strategy, and resources makes her an invaluable partner to any organization."
