My personal mission is to help non-profit organizations, both large and small, pursue and fulfill their missions. Whether I'm working with organizations dedicated to education, medical research, reproductive health and rights, global health or community advocacy, my strategic thinking, strong leadership, excellent communication skills, and proven track record consistently lead to positive results. Specialties:• Interim Leadership• Staff Coaching• Workplan and Budget Development• Major Gifts• Board Relations• Multi-channel Campaigns (direct mail, online giving, etc.)• Foundation and Corporate Relations• Event Planning and Implementation• Marketing and Communications• Reporting and Data AnalysisMy focus is always to create a diversified funding portfolio, in which revenue comes from multiple sources. When needed, I also develop strategies to expand general operating support.I have special expertise with Major Gifts (identifying prospects, developing strategies, tracking progress, soliciting and closing on gifts, staffing chief executives and volunteers, mentoring others). I am also especially adept at creating and packaging strategic “giving opportunities” for major donors that ultimately provide precious unrestricted funds.Throughout my career, I have built a solid reputation for creative, persuasive, and clear development communications using multiple, complementary channels.Mentoring colleagues in the earlier stages of their development careers has brought me great satisfaction throughout my career. Whether serving in a supervisory role, providing one-on-one coaching services, or informally advising former colleagues, I enjoy passing on the wisdom I have gained through my experiences and from mentors in my life.
