 Michael Baker and John Carno
In presenting the award, PIP Executive Director Becky Dembo said, "The Partnership in Philanthropy Award for Consulting Excellence was inaugurated in 2009, which makes Michael Baker only our second recipient. As a professional fundraising consultant, Michael consistently displays integrity and intuition, characteristics that enable him to take his clients to new levels of success. Since 2002, his work as a consultant to PIP clients has demonstrated these same qualities, and his personal skills make him a strong, involved advocate for his PIP clients."
"In the eight years since Michael first applied to become a PIP consultant, his own firm, m3 Development, has grown and flourished," Dembo continued. "Even with that, however, he is never too busy to take a call or come to our assistance when needed. I am personally grateful to Michael Baker, and PIP is delighted to have the opportunity to honor him with this year's award."
As a statewide organization that works to improve and strengthen the service capacity of other New Jersey nonprofits, PIP retains professional fundraising consultants and nonprofit executives to work each year with selected agencies and charitable entities that have applied for professional guidance and consulting services.
A founder and partner with m3 Development, a full-service national consulting company based in New Jersey and New York, Baker and his partner Marc Saffren work with nonprofit agencies and organizations, providing guidance and expertise in many areas, including fundraising campaigns, development audits, fund development planning, strategic planning, major gift planning, capacity assessments, management consulting, planned giving program development and board development. He has taken on interim executive leadership positions for clients, and serves as a philanthropic advisor when needed.
According to Becky Dembo, PIP clients with whom Baker has worked since becoming a PIP consultant in 2002 include Nutley Family Services, Marion P. Thomas Charter School, GreenFaith, Jewish Family and Children's Services, YouthBuild Newark, Foster and Adoptive Services, Habitat for Humanity and the Women's Health Foundation. He has also handled special projects for PIP, providing his expertise to the Somerset Home for Temporarily Displaced Children, Senior Services of the Chathams, the Holocaust Museum at Brookdale Community College, the Oceanside Charter School and SAGE Eldercare.
