What's in your way?

Hi. I'm Jennifer London.

Welcome to Cold Spring Consulting Group

Need a plan? Looking for (donor) love? At a loss for words? Cold Spring can help. You've got challenges and we’ve got smart solutions based on years of experience.

  • "Jennifer, thank you for the amazing work that you have done throughout this fundraising process. Your experience and guidance have been so helpful. There’s nothing like having the good fortune to work with someone who really knows her stuff, and who’s a pleasure to work with to boot. Much thanks from the whole team."

    Jordan D. Hershman, Endowment Campaign Committee, JCOGS (Jewish Community of Greater Stowe)

  • "I felt that I had been telling the same story for two years and my message was getting stale. Our story is so important, and I knew that I needed some help. I reached out to Jennifer, and she did a wonderful job. I am so proud of how our story will now be presented and am very thankful to Jennifer for her assistance."

    Elizabeth Boen, Executive Director, Brookline Food Pantry

Cold Spring partners with clients in a way that is personable, accessible and actionable.

Jennifer has served in a variety of roles in diverse nonprofit settings for over 20 years. She has had the privilege of working hand in hand with philanthropists who dream big, leaders who drive success, and professionals who roll up their sleeves. When it comes to challenges and opportunities, she understands the work from the inside.

You’ve got donors, you’ve got a board, you’ve got a team, you’ve got an important mission, and you want to grow. Great! Let’s do this.

Let’s talk about what it takes to be wildly successful in fundraising.

  1. Strong data and systems and a crackerjack team to enable your efforts.

  2. A strategic approach that builds your pipeline and motivates your major supporters.

  3. The materials to make your message resonate and the skills and tools to communicate your mission with passion and confidence.

We’ve got you! We can help with that.

What makes us different?

Cold Spring bridges the gap between advice and guidance and having the tools in hand to enable you to tell your story.

You’re doing amazing work! Our role is to help you connect with those can support and invest in what you do.

Together, we can reach your people and inspire them to take action.

Why “Cold Spring?”

  1. A cold spring is a life-giving resource. Cold springs feed bodies of water and enable entire ecosystems to thrive. Like philanthropy, a cold spring is something meaningful and precious that benefits the greater good.

  2. I live and work next to a green space called Cold Spring Park. Beckoning me to walk through the woods, visit the Farmer’s Market, and play ball with my dog, Daisy Bell, the park provides me with a steady source of inspiration.

  3. Launching my consulting practice in 2022, I found the name Cold Spring reflects my promise to let fresh ideas and creativity bubble up and spring forth - for you!
