“It is in collectivities that we find reservoirs of hope and optimism.”

—Angela Davis
American activist, professor and author

Kind Words

  • "Sena Consulting Group is an amazing resource for both the nuts-and-bolts processes and big-picture strategy for successful fundraising. They have become a trusted team member and confidante - with valuable insights regarding the internal reality and external environment relevant to Intact America's mission, vision, and communications strategies."

    -Georganne Chapin, Founding Executive Director at Intact America

  • “I’ve had the pleasure of being in Sue’s orbit now for over 15 years — her value set and deep experience in the philanthropy & impact space are second to none. She’s helped organizations, communities, movements—and people—cut through the noise, zoom in, make decisions and build convictions that align (and define) their purpose. At The Swish Ally Fund, she guided our board through our grants planning with empathy and intention, helping us move efficiently from ideation to planning to execution. She is a friend, an ally, an activist, a mom and an advocate for what’s right (to name a few)—consistent, informed, and always results-driven.”

    -Adam Robinson, formerly VP at Paramount Social Impact

  • “Sue Sena listens to her clients to assess their challenges and helps them develop solutions that enhance donor engagement, maximize revenue, and improve organizational efficiency. Sue is a trusted partner and one of my favorite people in our industry. I love collaborating with her to develop creative strategies for our clients’ direct response fundraising programs. She makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts!”

    -Bonnie Catena, Connector-In-Chief at Catena Connects

  • “Sue Sena is beyond intuitive when it comes to donor relations, building meaningful relationships between organizations and donors to maximize revenue. She also has the insight to coach experts in their fields to refine their approach and build partnerships that benefit these experts enormously. Knowing Sue for 25 years, I rely on her for advice, insight, and informed guidance in the nonprofit community.”

    -Jason Osher, colleague at Planned Parenthood Federation of America

  • “Working with Sue Sena is a pleasure. As I had to run a direct mail program without internal help and relied on our agency partners, Sue was instrumental in ensuring our campaigns succeeded and in keeping them on track. Speaking with Sue is more like speaking with a friend who just happens to understand your work needs, can provide successful suggestions on improving that work, and negotiate difficulties with other vendors with a focus on positive outcomes and making sure projects finish when they should. I enjoyed having her on our account, knowing she was dedicated to providing the best services and to listening to what my organization demanded at the same time.”

    -Paulette Hodge, Director of Direct Response and Donor Services at Brennan Center for Justice

  • “Sue connects with clients in a way that truly highlights her interests in providing the best experience for all parties involved. She is a great communicator, problem-solver, and leader! Would absolutely recommend to any potential future employer.”

    -Maria Ramirez, Founder of Newburgh LGBTQIA+ Center and co-conspirator

  • “Sue is an intelligent professional, who deeply cares for her work and everyone around her. Her knowledge of strategic fundraising is unmatched, and she balances that with a rare ability to develop and maintain team morale. She is an amazing leader, teacher, and cheerleader for everyone around her.”

    -Linda Travis, Senior Account Manager at Avalon Consulting Group

  • “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sue and Sena Consulting for nearly a decade. Having the insight, integrity, and investment of a consulting firm at this level has been immeasurable for our organization. We’d highly recommend Sena Consulting services for non-profit organizations looking to expand their reach and cultivate their programs.”

    -Stephen Patterson, Deputy Director at Intact America
