“Our organization, Fifth Wall Performing Arts, contacted Danielle Wright, founder of Opera MODO for help as we begin our journey as a new performing arts organization in Southeast Michigan. Danielle, with their experience navigating the arts non-profit world, was able to guide our organization through our infancy. Xer ability to listen and provide sound advice in an accessible way, was immensely helpful when it came to our organization first encountering the often intimidating structures and what-to-do’s of nonprofits.”
