Latino U College Access
Cimi Consulting partnered with Latino U College Access during a period of growth and transition, providing fractional development leadership, fundraising strategy, communications oversight, donor engagement, grant support, and team mentorship.
What began as a strategic advisory role evolved into hands-on development leadership, helping stabilize fundraising operations while strengthening storytelling, donor communications, gala strategy, and internal infrastructure.
The result was record-breaking fundraising success, including the most successful gala in the organization’s history, along with stronger donor engagement, enhanced communications, successful grant initiatives, and elevated visibility around LUCA’s scholar impact.
