The medieval forerunner of chemistry, alchemy is based on the supposed transformation of matter, translating base metals into gold. The work of transformation – the alchemic process – can be utterly challenging. And yet, the outcome is gold. The real work is to distill who you are – as a leader, a board, an organization, a global citizen – and how you intend to make this world a better place.

I am pleased to provide a strong and enthusiastic recommendation for Ms. Davidson-Goldbronn’s firm. She worked with us for the past 4 years in strategic planning, program development, and strategic fundraising. We could not have been successful without her. She helped with the development and launch of the University of California Global Health Institute (UCGHI).

Her diligence, hard work, and intelligence made all of the difference in the world.”

As a strategic planning and organizational assessment coach, Jenny was the catalyst we needed to effect positive change. Jenny’s knowledge and experience, matched by her empathy and insight, are a powerful combination, and her ability to identify and cultivate the unique gifts of our group cannot be overstated. Her skills in guiding us through re-organization, using her leadership skills to help us find our own, and to re-igniting the drive within ourselves were crucial in taking Ava’s Angels to the next level.”
Michelle Twardowski, Founder, Ava’s Angels
Jenny is a powerhouse of directional brilliance. Her in-depth understanding of organizational structure from the ground up provides a unique clarity and coherency to her consultation. She possesses a kind of sixth sense and organizational intuition that comes from years of high-level institutional experience and graduate studies in Psychology. Jenny is a development professional in a class of her own.”
Lynn Kaplan, Director, David Lynch Foundation – Los Angeles
As a Director of Development for a non-profit organization, I know firsthand the challenges that fundraisers face. The “never-enough-time in the day” to strategize, plan, cultivate, steward and in some instances, execute on all the responsibilities we are tasked with. In these moments, when your plate gets full and your vision may not seem as clear, you know that its time to bring in outside reinforcements to get you back on track. This year, I sought the help of Davi–Gold LLC. to help our Development Team get focused. Founder, Jenny Davidson-Goldbronn not only helped us to frame a strong development plan with actionable goals that will breed the ROI we are seeking, but, also helped us to understand the root of our challenges and how to navigate these roadblocks in the future. We walked away refreshed, inspired and positioned to achieve our best year yet! I would recommend Davi-Gold LLC to any non-profit or organization that needs a jumpstart to the finish line. Thank you Jenny!”
