Let’s Work Together!

Let us know what you are looking for and how we can help your organization better perform!

I have had the pleasure of using the consulting firm M. Leslie Palmer Consulting Group. As the President and CEO of Christian Assistance Ministry for the past 13 years and in the nonprofit sector for over 23 years, I can effectively share that their work is professional, excellent, and supportive. CAM has a development department and I have done this work myself but there are times that the volume of work and the many hats we wear require getting outside help; so that we can take advantage of potential grants and improvements we need to make. CAM has used their services and enjoyed their team member Denise Bennett to submit City grants, a Federal ArPA grant, a large million dollar Foundation grant, and help with an internal training plan for our organization. We are also leaning on them to provide some support with our silent auction. Not only is the work product excellent, completed on time if not early but the wisdom, experience, and planning process is very helpful and well worth the price. I can’t recommend this firm and their team enough!!! It has been a life saver for us and we have been awarded the grants we applied for with them.

M. Leslie Palmer Consulting Group has been a tremendously valuable resource for the San Antonio Council for International Visitors (SACIV).

As a grant writer, Denise Bennett is a skilled storyteller and excellent author. She quickly learned the agency’s voice and can clearly and concisely talk about the needs and impact of Girls Inc. of San Antonio. Denise’s skills enabled us to secure additional funding and she is thought of as an extension of the Girls Inc.’s Team. Organized, thorough, diligent, and accomplished – how I would describe Denise Bennett.
Lea RosenauerPresident & CEO of Girls Inc. of San Antonio
It’s the ability to see the big picture that sets M. Leslie Palmer Consulting apart from the rest. Our organization was able to grow immediately from the expertise that we were provided, but more importantly, we also gained a better perspective of how our organization can scale with strategic insight. SOS is now on a trajectory for success and scaling beyond our current capacity!
Amir SamandiFounder and Executive Director of Students of Service (SOS)
In two words...”Absolutely Phenomenal.” The partnership between the Airman Heritage Foundation and the M. Leslie Palmer Consulting Group exceeded all expectations!!

Leslie and Team are Outstanding Guides & Trusted Partners who provide Incredible Results!!
Timmothy M. DickensPresident of Airman Heritage Foundation
As a small startup organization with limited manpower, Noelle’s Light engaged Leslie to help us with board development and overall best practices. She has a knack for being able to quickly and deeply understand an organization by asking the right questions and, more importantly, listening. Leslie translates her wealth of experience in the nonprofit industry into an approach that supports and empowers her clients to reach their goals. We look forward to working with her again on future projects.
