Madison McAleese (she/her) is passionate about people and deeply committed to working with organizations that are focused on social impact to make the world a better place. Throughout her work as a consultant, she has ensured that organizations that are working towards justice, inclusion, equity, and transformation have the resources they need to grow their impact and succeed. Madison is particularly interested in the intersection between faith communities and social justice and is eager to work with mission-driven organizations that are fighting to change the status quo.

Impact Approach
For Madison, helping a client achieve their greatest mission impact means either helping organizations to reach more people and implement more programs and services, or it means helping organizations do what they already do more efficiently and equitably. She believes that making an impact is anything that serves and lifts up the communities around us.
