Testimonials


We have been one of Purpose Possible’s clients since the very beginning. Their team is FULL of the most impressive people - smart, talented, quick, and super helpful. They always go above and beyond to make sure our fundraising needs are met. For less than we would pay for a full time Development Director, we get a full service-team of experienced development professionals with a myriad of connections and networks. Working with Purpose Possible has been a game-changer for us - we LOVE THEM and highly recommend them to nonprofit organizations at all stages in their growth.

Purpose Possible’s assistance during our Director of Development transition was invaluable. Our major event of the year, Visionary Dinner, was in the mix and the work to secure sponsorships was epic. Our consultant’s hard work, insight, organization, and humor are unmatched.

Purpose Possible was indispensable in our search, which landed the perfect ED. From having a deep knowledge of the hiring pool to providing valuable insights into every step of the process and basically keeping us on track, we couldn’t have done it without them.

Purpose Possible was an exceptional partner in our search for a new ED. We had a unique set of circumstances that needed careful consideration to ensure our search was conducted with the right urgency and expertise. Their knowledge of the market, the ideal candidate selection process, and their flexibility in helping the executive board conduct our search balancing all of our needs was done with empathy and superb professionalism. They are a great partner to Nicholas House!

Mailchimp is proud to have found in Purpose Possible a partner who shares our commitment to helping small world changers. We’ve gained so much from working with their brain-trust of experienced operators and they’ve pushed us to be a better corporate citizen. My team is small, so we’ve valued having a collaborator take the time to understand our work and help us bring our nascent ideas to life. Our Power to Grow program just wouldn’t be the same without Purpose Possible.
— Josh Penny, Mailchimp
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Purpose Possible over the last few years in varying capacities. As a small but growing Development team, we have been partnered with several consultants including filling an important need as our Development Associate. This crucial role included tackling our CRM management, donor acknowledgements, gift entry and reporting and more. We worked with someone that had hands-on experience in Salesforce, and they not only took ownership of all required functions but they also helped develop process improvements, data management best practices and documentation of our development business operations. Everyone we have worked with at Purpose Possible comes to the table as a partner who is as dedicated to our success as we are; bringing with them a level of trust, expertise, customer service and professionalism in all they do.
— Katherine Welker, HOPE Atlanta
From the onset of our engagement, Purpose Possible has helped Dreaming Out Loud to stabilize and grow.

PP has truly lived up to its mission to help build impactful organizations that create a more resilient, equitable world.

Susannah’s leadership has made the entire Atlanta Arts and Culture Community better. Her wonderful spirit makes her a cherished colleague. 
— Doug Shipman, Atlanta City Council President
Working with Purpose Possible was a great learning experience. In many ways, it was enlightening to be presented with our needs since we had not had a communications professional evaluate and give us feedback before. What a relief to have an exceptionally experienced consultant to observe, to ask the right questions, and who had the creativity and expertise to pass the torch. Y’all made it so easy for us to transition to now having a settled person in this position. I have no doubt that Purpose Possible will have an imprint on SOJOURN for years to come.
— Rebecca Stapel-Wax, Executive Director, SOJOURN
I am so grateful for the incredible support provided by Purpose Possible. We have collaborated on a number of projects, and I am consistently impressed by the incredible services they offer. My organization has benefited considerably from our partnership and I plan to continue to work with them.
— Charles Stephens, Executive Director, Counter Narrative Project
It is rare to find a consulting firm that is as invested in the work that we do as we are. The Purpose Possible team has helped Roswell Arts Fund navigate an incredibly difficult year with competence and resourcefulness. Laura’s deep knowledge of the Atlanta arts world paired with her practical approach, creativity and ability to handle multiple projects have been tremendously valuable, providing us not only with the support that we needed during this critical time but also with a fundraising plan for the recovery ahead.
— Ghila Sanders, Roswell Arts Fund
Our team has had an absolutely incredible experience with Purpose Possible. We left each meeting feeling encouraged and hopeful. When we first entered this Salesforce conversation, we didn’t think it was possible for someone to create what we needed. Your team has been amazing! It’s going to be a huge growth catalyst for us as a nonprofit and team.
— Kayla Stagnaro, Special Projects Plywood People
I reached out to Purpose Possible to help HOPE Atlanta build a comprehensive fundraising and marketing strategy and they have exceeded my expectations. They are more than an idea-generating consulting firm and have provided critical hands-on support to supplement their strategic recommendations, which has resulted in growing our fundraising program by 65%. Their knowledge and expertise have brought our program to the next level and they have utilized their own networks and connections to help grow our base of support. Their consultants are client-driven, mission-focused, and have the real-world nonprofit experience necessary to implement effective strategies.
— Liz Liston, HOPE Atlanta
We love working with Purpose Possible and their team! From day one, I was impressed with their organizational skills and the creative ways in which they craft what we want to do to achieve our mission. Our partnership with them is what our nonprofit needs at this point in time.
— KIMBERLY PARKER, CENTRAL OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY CENTER
When I joined the Atlanta Land Trust, I quickly found myself with a very long to-do list, and no staff to help me complete it. I met with Laura and Susannah who helped me map out a path to prioritizing and completing critical activities. What started off as a small marketing and communications engagement quickly grew to include a resource development plan, board engagement strategy, and now fundraising implementation. Along the way they have welcomed detours and nimbly adjusted to the ever-changing needs of our growing nonprofit.
— Amanda Rhein, Atlanta Land Trust
Laura and Susannah make an incredible team. They are knowledgeable, creative and committed to supporting their clients, which makes them invaluable partners. I have worked with them on several programs and events and have been impressed with their exceptional project management skills. They’re always one step ahead with thoughtful ideas and solutions.
— Wilma Sothern, Central Atlanta Progress (CAP)
I love working with Susannah and their team. Susannah’s ebullient personality and her focus on details is the perfect partnership. No matter the challenge, she meets it with a smile, a can-do attitude and solutions! Susannah’s connections to all-things-Atlanta is also a plus. I look forward to the next time we have the opportunity to collaborate!
— SHALONDRA HENRY, MOVING IN THE SPIRIT
I wanted to take a moment to sincerely THANK YOU all for reaching out and assisting us in applying for the Community Foundation grant. This show of assistance and support proved that we are not in a silo and that Atlanta’s Art Community is stronger together.
