WHAT OUR PARTNERS ARE SAYING

  • “Randi Benesch’s extensive experience and expertise related to nonprofit management, development, and programming have made her an invaluable asset to the Merriweather Arts and Culture Center. She has been a key part of our organizational successes and growth over the last year and is an indispensable thought partner and member of our team. While we originally started working with Randi to develop and implement a fundraising plan, her wide breadth of knowledge and skills have allowed her to help us refine our work and develop new ideas for all facets of our organization. Her work for MACC has been invaluable and will have lasting effects for years to come.”

    Ian Kennedy
    Executive Director
    Merriweather Arts and Culture Center

  • “Randi is an excellent consultant for any nonprofit looking to grow their development capacity – especially in Baltimore. As a newly promoted Director of Development, having Randi as my mentor provided that extra push I needed to get comfortable and confident in my new role. Her years of experience in nonprofit fundraising and management allow her to provide insight into best practices and real-life examples. Her exceptional skills in facilitating conversations with staff and board, and her fearlessness in asking the tough questions, pushed me and the team to reflect and think critically about how we currently do the work and how we can improve. I felt motivated after each session, and always left the conversation with Randi with a clear set of tasks and goals. She is a wonderful thought partner when it comes to strategic planning and addressing any challenges from the individual to the organizational level.”

    Mari Takeda
    Development Director
    Baltimore Tree Trust

  • “Randi has been an amazing partner for our development team, offering her expertise and deep understanding on our region’s philanthropic landscape. Her knowledge base is extensive including strategic planning, board development, fundraising events and campaigns, major gifts, and committee management. She went above and beyond to ensure that our team had all of the tools and resources to be successful. She was always accessible and willing to thought partner or problem solve when challenges came up for our team. Randi is also very thorough, thoughtful and truly enjoyable to work with!”
