A highly skilled nonprofit strategist and expert fundraising professional with more than 30 years of experience helping mission-driven organizations build sustainable revenue, deepen donor relationships, and access funding pathways most never think to pursue.

 

Over the course of my career I have personally raised more than $100M through major gifts, planned giving, creative and noncash giving strategies, and relationship-centered stewardship across humanitarian aid, community wellbeing, and youth-serving organizations.
 

What I do that most fundraisers don't: I look at an organization's full revenue picture and find what's missing. That means identifying noncash and complex asset giving opportunities, building creative giving infrastructure, training staff to work channels they've never worked before, and positioning organizations to diversify revenue in ways that create long-term resilience rather than campaign-to-campaign dependency.

Proprietary Funding Pathways Map
 

A proprietary, sequenced map of your organization's full resourcing landscape -- identifying every giving channel, funding relationship, and revenue pathway available to you, phased by readiness, personalized to your mission and vision, and built with the specific next steps to open each one.

Impact Data Room

Set Up​


Position your organization to receive bigger, better, more sustainable and diverse funding.

​

I'll help you build an infrastructure and 'data room' that prepares your organization to receive significant funding --structured around your mission and vision, not a generic template.

Fractional Partnership

​

​​Hands-on strategic and donor-facing work. Embedded fundraising leadership for organizations that need to right the ship, build from the ground up or increase revenue streams.  I step in as fractional or interim Director of Development, CDO, or other role to support and train staff, close gaps, and help you hire the right permanent team when you're ready.

Not sure where to start?
A single focused "Pick My Brain" session can clarify your funding picture, surface what's missing, and point you toward a clear next step. No pitch. No package. Just useful.
