I have worked with senior executives at all levels of both the Federal Government and in the private sector; Megan’s strong business acumen and her innate people skills are some of the best I have ever seen in action! She is both an excellent listener and a keen analyst - incredibly focused upon marrying the passions of donors with nonprofits whose missions match their interests. Her extensive professional experience, impressive credentials, and the relationships she has gathered throughout her career make her an unstoppable force. Plus, it’s clear that she loves her work, and she’s an utter joy to be around. If you want a real go-getter who believes that anything is possible and then consistently delivers on those promises, then this is the consultant for you!”
— John Copenhaver, Former Director, FEMA, SE Region

“I had the opportunity to work with Megan Bowman during the historic 9-11 Attack on America. She had a keen sense of what needed to be done, even in a high-stress situation. She was willing to take difficult actions that would make a difference. She stayed focused yet inspirational. Megan was always passionate about the mission we worked on together. She built relationships well and knew how to develop long-term sustainability. She could move people towards achieving the organization's vision, almost effortlessly. Her enthusiasm was infectious!”

-LINDA MATHES, CEO, AMERICAN RED CROSS, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION


“Angels Among Us Pet Rescue had the great pleasure of having Megan lead our organization for several years as a marketing/philanthropy consultant. This woman consistently puts her money where her mouth is! Through Megan’s leadership, we evolved from a small, volunteer-run nonprofit that saved a handful of dogs and cats to the largest volunteer-driven animal rescue in the Southeast region. Megan’s creative and passionate writing skills, her talents as a leader, and her role as a visionary helped to increase our donations from $250,000 to more than $4 million in a few short years. This growth translated into our ability to save, heal, and re-home more than 12,000 death row dogs. When Megan touches your organization, you are indeed on your way to great things! Please feel free to contact me to discuss her incredible skills.”

-LISA ZAMBACCA, CO-FOUNDER, ANGELS AMONG US PET RESCUE


"From the moment we met her, we absolutely knew we wanted to work with her. In a word, this woman is...WOW!"

-MICHAEL SAMSTAG, OWNER, RESCUE DOCS MEDIA


“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Megan on project-specific work (mainly large, signature fundraising events) for nearly 10 years as she consulted with West Chester Public Library. She is one of the finest. She is a professional, a leader, and is knowledgeable, well-organized, proactive, open-minded and extremely creative. Megan understands how busy her clients are so she communicates in the manner that works best to move the project forward efficiently and expeditiously. She will flag urgent issues, solicit feedback, make necessary changes and move forward. She welcomes client feedback openly and is an excellent listener.”

-Denise Loughlin, Business Executive, fortune 500 corporation  


“I have known Megan for more than a dozen years and have had the privilege of working with her on a few projects. I have found her to be an effective and creative development and marketing professional. The successes she has had throughout her career come from her innate ability to build and nurture relationships within the community and invigorate both paid and volunteer leadership. She always puts 'relationship before task' and this trait coupled with her work ethic and attention to detail makes her the essential ingredient to any successful fundraising program!”

-Joan P. Snyder, President/Consultant, JPS Fundraising
