Leaders who've felt the difference

Real partners, real results — from the people who know the work best.

Program Design & Operational Infrastructure

"Working with Carla has been an absolute game-changer. She single-handedly transformed our ability to measure the impact of EDEN's programs. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her deep understanding of our mission has truly elevated our work."

Deidra LeconteChief Operating Officer, EDEN
Interim Fundraising Strategy & Leadership

"I've had the privilege of working with Carla for six years. She sweats the details while never losing track of the big picture. Her ability to think outside the box has proven very effective in building funder relationships and meeting our fundraising goals."

Chris NorrisFormer Executive Director, Metro Housing|Boston
Event and Interim Strategy & Leadership

"Carla was organized, reliable, and comprehensive — I didn't have anything to worry about; I knew it would get done. Above and beyond the contract, she served as a mentor and coach to a junior staff member. Her experience as a senior nonprofit professional made her an exceptionally valued part of our team."

Steve FarrellExecutive Director, Fenway Forward
Capital Campaign Strategy & Grant Writing

"Working with Carla was wonderful. She took the time to learn our organization and the work we do, making our efforts more effective and our goals clearer. I appreciated her clear communication and her optimism to keep moving forward. I highly recommend!"

Meet Carla

Senior leadership your mission can lean on.

After over two decades inside nonprofits — most recently as Chief Strategic Partnership Officer at Metro Housing|Boston — I founded Impact Community Giving to give smaller organizations the senior-level strategy support they rarely get to afford.

I'm all about results while strengthening the infrastructure underneath them: more than 100% fundraising growth at multiple nonprofits, a $1M Social Determinants of Health initiative, and program and operational systems built to last. Whatever a strong organization needs, that's the work I love.
