Consulting

Strategy from someone who's actually run the damn thing.

Grant writing, nonprofit operations, political consulting, tech onboarding systems, Spanish translation, and creative strategy, grounded in decades of doing the work, not just reading about it.

What I do

Speaking at the Latino Writers Festival
  • Grant writing and nonprofit strategy. Grant writing, administrative operations, and fundraising strategy for any size nonprofit. Streamline operations so your mission can take the center stage.
  • Campaign strategy from local to federal. Ran two Congressional campaigns, advised city council members on housing policy, and consulted on canvassing operations, landing wins like a conversion therapy ban in Kansas City and a nondiscrimination housing act in Blue Springs.
  • Operations and onboarding systems design. Built for growing teams that need a process to survive their own growth.
  • Spanish translation services. Academic and native-speaker translators on the team, for work that has to read right in both languages, not just translate correctly.
  • Creative and brand strategy. For founders who need to sound like themselves, not like everyone else in their category.
  • Custom apps. Need part of your business automated? Let's talk.
  • Digital marketing. Marketing your business is difficult. Let's make an easy plan for you that doesn't include AI slop posters or ineffective campaigns.

"Do you need a website? Are you trying to get a book launched? Are you trying to get more traffic? M.G. Salazar is the answer. She was able to get my book published despite formatting problems, and bring traffic to my website that she designed to help sell the book. She's the one person that can do it all!"

GetEm Onboard

While handling client onboarding solo across three product lines, I built a system that automated the manual work and freed up serious time per client, without any engineering background, just a clear read on where the friction was.
