I specialize in working with nonprofits to increase your revenue and exceed your goals by helping you raise more 5, 6 and 7- figure donations.

If you want to get focused on getting the biggest bang for your fundraising buck - and you’re ready to stop working reactively, rushing from crisis to crisis, and chasing after the latest FSO (Fundraising Shiny Object)…

Here’s how I can help:

Create consistent, reliable revenue growth 

​Do you suspect that you could be raising much more money, much more effectively?

I can help you understand the effectiveness of your current fundraising, discover untapped opportunities, and understand what needs to be in place for your future fundraising success.

Whether your major gift efforts need a makeover, or your overall fundraising needs a total transformation, I can help you create the consistent, reliable revenue growth you need scale your programs and services and touch more lives through your important work.

Raise the money you need to move the needle for your mission  

Recent headlines are saying that fundraising is down, donations are down, and donor retention is down. 

You could let this news get to you - but I think your crucial work is too important to give in to Chicken Little Syndrome!  

With my skills in Strategy Development and Planning, we can work together to see the big picture, understand the current fundraising trends that impact you, and put a strategy in place to raise the money you need to really start moving the needle for your mission. 

​Take your fundraising to the next level

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from more than 20 years of successful fundraising, and broken it down into a clear, comprehensive coaching and training program for every budget level. 

Do you have board members who want to help, but are uncertain of where to begin?  Are you a CEO who needs to sharpen your major donor meeting skills? Or a small shop fundraiser who would benefit from additional support and skill-sharing?

I can provide you with customized Coaching and Training – through digital courses, one-on-one coaching, or with small or large group training, I can help you and your team develop the skills and knowledge you need to take your fundraising to the next level.
