From Our Clients

Daniel’s expertise in museums and capital projects, combined with his deep knowledge of foundation fundraising, has been invaluable to our efforts at the LBJ Presidential Library & Museum. His strong writing skills, high level of organization, and attention to detail have helped us effectively articulate our vision for revitalizing our permanent exhibition.

– Dan Perry, Chief Development Officer, LBJ Foundation

Daniel has been an essential asset to the Museum, raising $1 million for a major human resources initiative and a collections digitization project -- both of which he collaborated with the departments to structure and design. His strong strategic outlook, mature intercultural and fundraising skills, and team-oriented demeanor will ensure that any organization reaches its goals successfully, and, like us, will benefit institutions at a critical stage in their organizational growth.

– Solimar Salas, Deputy Director, Museum of Latin American Art

I highly recommend Daniel for his unique ability to serve as a collaborator and convener of arts and culture advocates in projects that bridge non-profits with philanthropy and elected officials.”

 - Peter Vega, Executive Director, Chicago Cultural Alliance

Daniel has provided critical awareness into fundraising practice – particularly as it comes to grant writing – for our small historical society. His experience working with foundations and the relationships he has formed through his practice affords our organization the perspective we need to plan for a more sustainable organization in leadership, fundraising, and audience engagement.

- Bob Remer, President of the Board, Edgewater Historical Society

Daniel coordinated the creation of our project website, translated its content into Spanish, and ensured direct engagement with our statewide-audience through the production of tailor-made signage for each of the 20 sites and communicating directly with their contacts. I highly recommend Daniel for projects featuring diverse audiences as he is both personable and a diligent worker.

- Lisa DiChiera, Director of Advocacy, Landmarks Illinois

Working with Daniel has empowered us to make some much-needed changes to our organizational structure. He pushed us to start considering ourselves less as an ‘organization’ and more as an ‘institution,’ calling attention to the long-term sustainability and history of our nonprofit as the basis for implementing our mission and vision.

– Ellyzabeth Adler, Executive Director, Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble

Daniel was instrumental when Edgar Miller Legacy needed guidance with a five-figure programming grant application, bringing much-needed expertise and perspective to a new organization writing these types of requests for the first time. Further, he also brought added insight into how to craft a quality and engaging program beyond the initial grant application, going above and beyond the scope of the initial project description. Daniel pushed our sights higher, and we received our grant and had better public programming due to his efforts

– Zac Bleicher, Executive Director, Edgar Miller Legacy

Within the first minute of knowing Daniel, I understood his strength of interpersonal communication in addition to his detail-oriented skills in logistics. With his support, our organization was able to leverage the necessary relationships that made our annual fundraiser a success.

– Sam Provenzano, VP of Institutional Advancement, Haymarket Center
