TESTIMONIALS
Sally Schaeffer, Principal of Uncorked Advocates, has clients across the continuum of the nonprofit sector. Many clients are focused on charitable giving and nonprofit infrastructure issues. Other clients are charities working to serve survivors of gender-based violence and other vulnerable populations.
Whether it is talking to Hill policymakers or other external stakeholders, Uncorked Advocates will be an advocate for your interests with integrity and hard work to achieve bipartisan results.
Sally is a smart and strategic advocate for her clients and deeply trusted on the Hill. She also is a wonderful connector among organizations working in the gender-based violence, health and non-profit sector more broadly, and also serves as a calming, thoughtful partner when you’re facing the unexpected or a challenging situation. Most importantly, Sally remains an advocate for the people we serve and never loses sight of why we do this work in the first place, to help survivors and their loved ones heal and thrive.

I have had the pleasure of working closely with Sally since 2018 when she first began providing lobbying services for YWCA USA. For over 7 years, Sally has consistently provided the highest caliber of representation to us and our national network of nearly 200 local associations in the areas of gender-based violence, appropriations, federally directed spending, COVID relief, and an array of nonprofit sector issues.

In our years of working together, it was clear to me that Sally would always go above and beyond. When the Legacy IRA Act passed into law, she immediately got to work on resources to educate the nonprofit sector about the news. She compiled a legislative summary, a Frequently Asked Questions document, sample materials to give to perspective donors, and more. Her commitment, leadership, and positive attitude even when facing
opposition truly set her apart. And her commitment doesn’t end at close of business: last year, Sally joined the AHA at our Heart Walk, a premier event for raising funds to save lives from heart disease and stroke.

In the sea of Washington, DC consultants, Sally remains a mentor to all young women regularly taking meetings and connecting colleagues despite their political stripes. She personally believes in the mission and work of her clients and is passionate about seeing their success. It’s rare to find someone that you can call a colleague and a trusted friend. I am proud to bestow these titles upon Sally
