Not-For-Profit Experience

Over the years, not-for-profit and government-related clients have included The American Arbitration Association, The Conference Board, The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, TechnoServe International, the Overseas Press Club of New York (pro bono), the German Industrial Development Board, the Gibraltar Information Bureau, the National Soft Drink Association, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, and The Episcopal Church USA.

Among the projects undertaken on behalf of these clients were:

• The launch of The Conference Board’s Help Wanted On Line Data Series, a monthly index.
• The generation of wide media exposure for two of the Alliance Capital Management Foundation’s philanthropic initiatives: The Inner City High School Adoption Program and The Dress for Success Program: a venture that actively involved volunteers from the ranks of Alliance Capital’s employees and many of NYC’s prominent retail stores, whereby clothing was donated and distributed to disadvantaged women along with career mentoring and job placement services.
• On behalf of the Episcopal Diocese of New York City, Donley implemented media relations for Ambassador Richard Holbrooke’s lectures sponsored by the Office of the Anglican Observer at the United Nations and for The Episcopal Council’s Symposium on Science and Faith sponsored by the Theological School of Drew University.
• The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, advice on an ongoing project.
• Advising the Museum of Modern Art on media, member and community communications when it sold its air rights, permitting the construction of residential condominiums adjacent to the museum.
