CurrentFundraising, development, and investor relations for political campaigns.Rather than merely consulting and advising, I make the calls, extend the personal invitations, request the meetings, and give the pitches that result in financial success. Every client with whom I have worked has been able to fully fund and exceed their original campaign budget.Any consultant can tell a candidate, executive director, or event chair what he or she needs to do to enact a successful fundraising campaign. The difference is that Ossola Consulting clients gain a true partner in exceeding their goals. New clients are trained in how to ask for money, and how to best say thank you. Seasoned clients are challenged to be ever more creative and graciously persistent.It all adds up to more than $24 million raised for Maryland Republicans.My allegiance to my clients is only matched by dedication to the donors who support them. I work to ensure that every donor feels appreciated and pleased with their investment, and to develop a true relationship that continues well beyond the thank-you note. This "first-class fundraising" approach truly sets Ossola Consulting apart and is responsible for many gratefully received recommendations; my business has been built entirely by client and donor referrals.Specialties: Prospect identification, major donor cultivation, gift stewardship, signature event coordination, campaign budgeting, new donor outreach.
