Partnering to make real change
Guided by our visionary founder and CEO, Tesha McCord Poe, Joy-Raising isn't just another consultancy – we're your strategic partners in creating meaningful impact. We dive deep to understand your organization's unique fundraising and DEI challenges, from spearheading landmark capital campaigns to unearthing and addressing subtle biases in your hiring.
Daring to tackle the tough conversations on philanthropy, money, race, class, and community, we stand beside you to navigate these complexities. Let's reimagine what's possible and elevate your organization to its highest potential. Join us in this mission of transformative change.
We are unafraid to engage in the most challenging discussions about philanthropy, money, race, class, and community in order to help your organization accomplish its best.
