About


I’m Mickness (Mickie), and in 2020, I established MMA Consulting to assist organizations, startups, and individuals in reaching their fundraising objectives. From the outset, I’ve collaborated with over 10 clients, contributing to the successful raising of more than one million USD.

I was born and raised in Tanzania, but I have been living in Switzerland since 2016. My fundraising career started in 2019 when I raised money for an economic project for rural women in Zimbabwe. As I embarked on my professional career in Switzerland, I was inspired by my ability to mobilize funds for causes dear to me. Recognizing the vital role fundraising plays in driving positive change and fostering sustainable development, I immersed myself in the field, acquiring knowledge about tools for efficient fundraising.

In the years since I started my consultancy work, I have helped international NGOs and entrepreneurs develop effective fundraising strategies and secure funding for high-impact projects in Europe, Africa, and North America. I work in all fields but have considerable experience in health tech, biodiversity conservation, climate change, renewable energy, education, sports, events, women and youth empowerment.

MMA Consulting provides a comprehensive array of fundraising services to assist clients in raising funds for impactful projects. We emphasize the power of collaboration and continuously explore new and innovative fundraising approaches. Our passion drives our work, and we collaborate closely with organizations to ensure the achievement of their goals.

Whether you are a non-governmental organization, a start-up, or an individual looking to raise funds for your innovative project, MMA Consulting is here for you.

Working with Mickness Aeschlimann has been a delight. During the whole process of acquiring funding, Mickness Aeschlimann has always been professional, flexible, and has good ideas on how to approach donors. Without the competent services of Mickness Aeschlimann, it would have been a lot harder for us to acquire funding for our project. We will continue to work with Mickness Aeschlimann in the future and I can absolutely recommend the services of her company MMA Consulting!

We are delighted to recommend Mickness Aeschlimann, with her strong analytical and research planning skills, Mickness strategically developed a detailed project proposal including full descriptions of start/end dates, objectives, outcomes, and the budget needed to carry out the entire project. Her solid writing skills have enabled her to compose quality proposals and correspondence. She also has analytical skills to diagnose problems and devise viable solutions.

Within a short period of time, Mickness has developed fundraising initiatives and sent out funding proposals to seek donations and grants in supporting the running of our projects. The funding proposal that she has drafted has been valuable for Phenomenal Women Global in seeking funds and connecting to potential donors

Zuvor hat Frau Aeschlimann bei uns als Freiwillige bei der Projektentwicklung und Finanzierung für ein Projekt zur Finanz-Alphabetisierung und Förderung der Geschäftstätigkeit von Frauen in Simbabwe mitgewirkt. Das Projekt wurde vor wenigen Tagen mit einem namhaften Betrag aus dem Budget fur Entwicklungs zusammenarbeit der Gemeinde Riehen bedacht (CHF 20’000.-).

Frau Aeschlimann hat viel Verständnis für die Inhalte und gutes Talent für die Formulierung des Projektes gezeigt und darum haben wir sie in der beschriebenen bezahlten Position mit den neuen Aufgaben betraut. Frau Aeschlimanns Kommunikation in Englisch zeichnet sich durch einen klaren und prägnanten Schreibstil aus und sie produziert Texte rasch und effizient. Kenntnisse aufgrund ihrer Herkunft und ihrer Ausbildung helfen ihr dabei und sie bringt dieses Wissen verständlich auch auf den Punkt.

Mickness did an amazing good job! She is a joy to work with and very precise, collaborative and extremely good in writing grant applications. Apart from that she is eager to learn more from what our organization does and why we want to apply for this grant. In doing so she learns about why we want to write this grant application. She meets deadlines and is thorough in asking questions. I would highly recommend her and if possible I like to work again with her.

Mickness was wonderful. After other freelancers didn’t hit their deadlines or communicate, Mickness had to clean up their mess. She hit all deadlines, was very communicative, and even did research on the specific issue to add to the proposal.
