Mikaila Downing

Founded in 1996, Wingo is a fundraising and design consulting firm for social, cultural and environmental change. We specialize in building and enhancing individual and major giving campaigns, capital campaigns, donor communications, digital engagement and special events for nonprofits across the U.S. and around the world. We are different than other consulting firms because we provide expert fundraising strategy AND seamless implementation. Wingo NYC can be your “outsourced development department"​ because we are an experienced, complete fundraising team for the price of one staff person, or less. FUNDRAISING We believe that a successful development program relies on thorough research, innovative development strategies and a thoughtful, compelling donor communication program that clearly advances the organization’s mission. DESIGN Whether it's launching a new branding campaign or designing event collateral, we can provide a full range of creative services from concept to delivery with our in-house design studio. EVENTS We create and produce special events of all sizes with a focus on fundraising, including first-time events for established and start-up organizations. DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT OPTIMIZATION After reviewing and analyzing your organization's digital space, we will build an engagement strategy, that incorporates all the essential pieces, amplifies your mission, grows your organization and introduces and reaches the right audiences at the right time with compelling content that inspires action. WORKSHOPS We lead a wide variety of educational trainings appropriate for staff and board at varying levels of experience and enthusiasm for fundraising. As a proud LGBTQ+ owned business, Wingo is committed to diversity and inclusion in all its forms, including the leaders on our staff, and the clients and vendors we work with. 100% of people who own, control, operate our business and make decisions are people of color, women or LGBTQ+ persons.
