Testimonials

As a new nonprofit we have learned a lot in working with Mary Hart. She has provided insight, ideas and recommendations that work for us. As we continue to grow and become more established in the community, Mary's rich corporate and non-profit experience has helped us further our mission. Her gentle approach allows one to process a suggestion, find the right fit for it and then act upon it. She is always willing to listen, leaving room to share ideas as well as help with solutions and answers. 

Such a pleasure to work with!

- Laura Wissa, Founder of Prom Beach


Mary was the driving force in the successful growth of Dress for Success Palm Beaches. In five years, the organization moved to a new location, opened an office in Belle Glade, created numerous career programs, events and so much more which resulted in generating more revenue and community recognition.

Mary is well known and respected in the community we serve. She is not only brilliant at solving issues, but also strategic and forward-thinking. During the pandemic, we quickly developed virtual activities, not missing a beat in serving and attracting clients who needed our services more than ever. And she accomplishes all her successes with humility, relentless energy, engagement, passion, and kindness.

Back in 2021, I was looking for guidance to take aZul to the next level. As a leader driven by our mission, it was essential for me to establish a solid business framework and cultivate a robust network for the adults with disabilities that we support.


I reconnected with Mary, who had recently founded Hart Core Solutions. Since then, we have worked closely to enhance aZul’s operations. Mary has played a crucial role in helping us develop a strong Board of Directors, establish our organizational structure, create our signature event, and formulate effective development plans. Most importantly, she has provided invaluable coaching as I navigate my role as CEO. Through her support, I have rediscovered my confidence, gained insights into public speaking, and learned how to build valuable relationships with donors and potential sponsors.


Since partnering with Mary, our organization has experienced 100% growth. I am incredibly thankful for her unwavering support of our mission!
