My specialties:

• Implementing proven systems for retaining your valuable, generous donors.

• Board training so your board members are the advocates you need!

• Finding the gaps in your fundraising systems and then fixing them.

• Providing reality checks on fundraising goals before you get too far into the weeds.

• Designing baby-steps for your new planned giving program.

More than 25 years ago I started my philanthropic journey. 

I've worked with and for charities in the following areas:

The performing arts, medical research, capital campaigns, hearing loss, education, social work and housing. 

I've written and won multiple six-figure grants, feasibility studies, case statements and thank you letters by the hundreds, if not thousands.

We all have our audacious, benevolent dreams. 

Delivering on these dreams requires the following: 

• Solid and data-driven documentation of the need,

• Great branding and communications,

• Crystal-clear clarity of what you promise to deliver donors,

• Implementation and maintenance of repeatable, documented systems,

• And a very high level of board engagement and fiduciary responsibility.

With a Masters in Journalism, Certification of Fundraising Executives (CFRE) and a lifetime of great stories and experiences, I continue to love this work.
