Meredith Sossman

Founder & Managing Director

Nonprofit development professional — and a JD by training — with over twenty years building sustainable fundraising programs across education, human services, healthcare, arts, and libraries. She has taken organizations from fundraising benchmarks of zero into sustained seven-, eight-, nine-, and ten-figure programs — with an emphasis on durability through leadership transitions and funding-cycle shifts. Recent work includes serving as principal development architect for the Lansdale Public Library's new 501(c)(3): building its individual donor file from zero, launching its first monthly giving program, and framing its upcoming 100-Year Capital Campaign. She teaches in La Salle University's Certificate in Fundraising.

Jamie Darrell Clark

Senior Consultant — Public Safety & Emergency Services

A grant specialist for emergency-response organizations who rose from firefighter to Deputy Fire Chief before bringing operational expertise into development work. He has secured over $700,000 in grants and in-kind donations for equipment and program enhancements, and played a pivotal role in New Jersey's DOT Traffic Incident Management program. Jamie develops, reviews, and edits proposals to align tightly with funder objectives — and understands the field realities that make public-safety funding applications credible.

Gus Molina

Senior Consultant — Solutions Architect & Technology Consulting

The technology mind behind MM&C's tools. A full-stack, integration, IoT, and systems architect with more than 25 years of experience, Gus turns complex needs into elegant, durable systems — the same philosophy that drives our donor databases and the Grant Tracker. Over two decades as an independent consultant, he has delivered product, manufacturing, software, and hardware engineering for clients including Toyota, and taught corporate developers to build highly scalable distributed systems as an instructor with DevelopMentor. His work spans a year-long-battery fitness console for Core Health & Fitness, radar and RF simulation systems, and ventures in secure payments, supply chain, and industrial robotics. His motto — "build it once, build it correctly" — is exactly the discipline a nonprofit's data infrastructure needs.
