Fundraising

Before going out on my own as a consultant, I spent 20+ years as a fundraising director leading campaigns in arts, education, and public media.

Now, with a small group of clients, I still put that expertise to work for nonprofits eager to grow, expand their impact, and better serve their communities.

I specialize in revamping major giving programs, campaign planning, building pipelines and strategies to identify and engage top prospects, and establishing systems and targets to track and measure success
