Expertise
Our area of expertise is communication. INSIGHT makes cooperation and coordination between donors, charities, boards and beneficiaries seamless allowing all stakeholders to focus on the communities and causes they serve.
INSIGHT most commonly serves as intermediary between donors and charities to manage the expectations and create mutually beneficial relationships around a shared vision. Our team creates a highly personalised strategy developed from your history, values and goals and manages its execution from start to finish.
How we work
Consultation
Every INSIGHT relationship starts with a free consultation to allow our team to understand your objectives and for you to learn about our people and process.
Proposal
By investing time in the discovery process, our team is able to craft a proposal specific to your goals and within your budget. We want you to feel confident that a partnership with INSIGHT will be productive and successful before you commit any resources.

She enjoys working with philanthropists, particularly next gen donors, to translate their ideas and passions into effective giving strategy; working with charities to improve their communication and success with donors; and working with small businesses to achieve recognition and growth.
Previously, Dani worked for the International Rescue Committee and the Magnum Foundation along with several private clients. She is proud of the relationships she builds with her clients, the impact of her work and the longevity of her consulting partnerships.

Dani has a BA in French, Spanish and Italian from Dartmouth College and a Master in Global Affairs Human Rights and Humanitarian Aid from New York University.
Extended team
INSIGHT retains a small permanent staff because low overhead means lower costs to you. However, we supplement our internal team with a global network of partners of industry leaders which allows us to scale up our team and offer specific expertise for your needs.
