The greatest benefit of being an NCPC member is being able to build relationships with a network of businesses and nonprofits who work together for the good of the greater San Diego community.   By being connected, I can work side by side with nonprofit and business leaders and professionals to improve and enrich mission-based philanthropy and boost philanthropic impact across our community.

What is your Mission?

The purpose of MP Consulting is to inspire nonprofit leaders and board members in the art of Philanthropy.  MP Consulting’s pledge is to steadily and creatively help nonprofits increase their resources by bringing together leadership and investors to work together to solve our community’s pressing issues.  MP Consulting collaborates closely with individuals and organizations facilitating business retreats and training focused on strategic planning, board development and engagement, as well as private philanthropy.

What was your company’s biggest accomplishment in the past six months – one year?

My most recent big accomplishment has been having the privilege to work with nonprofits during COVID-19.  Recently, one client shared that my knowledge and calming influence helped them face a global pandemic as a mission-focused, strategic organization who survived by staying engaged with our community during these unprecedented times.

Have you made a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within your organization, and if so, how are you demonstrating it?
