  • A 60% increase in the number of children served.
  • A 600% year-over-year increase in McDonald’s crew volunteerism.
  • Over 10,000 meals provided to families served by RMHCDC.

Wolff’s strategic and innovative methods include securing pro bono data analysis of over 147,000 records from more than three decades.

Before joining RMHCDC, Wolff led organizational restructuring, developed organizational capacity models for program acceleration and expansion, and fostered cross-sector partnerships involving Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.
