The Cimi Strategy

Turning mission into fundraising momentum

Angela Ciminello is the Founder and President of Cimi Consulting, a strategic fundraising and communications firm rooted in the belief that fundraising is, first and foremost, storytelling.

With nearly 30 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, Angela helps organizations strengthen revenue, elevate visibility, and deepen community impact through creative strategy, compelling communications, and authentic donor engagement.

Throughout her career, Angela has partnered with organizations across healthcare, education, homelessness, domestic violence prevention, youth development, senior care, and community services throughout the New York metro area.

Her work combines fundraising strategy, donor engagement, communications, public visibility, media storytelling, sponsorship development, gala strategy, and fractional development leadership — helping organizations navigate periods of growth, transition, and transformation.

Angela is especially known for identifying creative opportunities that connect mission, storytelling, partnerships, and community engagement in ways that strengthen both visibility and long-term sustainability.

Angela’s passion as a development officer and executive shows in the work she chooses. From her work with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to Burke, The Wartbug and Inspirica, her dedication to helping people and communities through development is unmatched. We have worked on projects together in her capacity at The Wartburg and I have seen the impact she is making at Inspirica bringing that same passion and drive to increase success at organizations at a high level!

If I had to describe Angela in one word, it would be “incomparable.” She is truly one of the most creative, dynamic, and empathetic managers that I have ever had, and under her leadership and mentorship, I have experienced some of my most significant career accomplishments.

Over the last year, our department not only reached every goal we set, we surpassed them. This is because Angela knows how to effectively utilize the strengths of every member of her team to get the job done. Success is a word that is synonymous with Angela, and I know that she would be an enormous asset to any organization that she is a part of.

Inspire. Teach. Protect. Remove obstacles. Be human. According to the experts, these are the characteristics that will make a boss an unforgettable one that people will remember for the rest of their careers. Angela possesses all of these qualities—and more. From the moment she showed up to lead our team, she brought with her an energy and optimism that made me feel excited to get to work each day. And during my very first one-on-one with her, she made me feel seen and gave me useful advice. But not only that. I also noticed how she brought out the best in others. Shortly after her arrival, I began to notice colleagues who had previously been unknown to me show their personalities, which led to more transparency and cooperation among everyone in the office. In short, her charisma was infectious.

Not only will Angela do a killer job of leading your team—she will change your life.
