Major Connections is passionate about helping nonprofits increase their annual revenue to better meet the needs of those they serve by providing analytics, assessment, training, accountability and management of their major and planned giving programs. With over 27 years of experience and expertise in the fundraising arena, Major Connections is well equipped to assist non-profits with developing a solid and successful annual giving program focused primarily on major gifts.Back in 1988, I began my fundraising career as Director of Annual Giving at the American Heart Association in Los Angeles. For the last 20 years my focus has been primarily on building and/or strengthening major and planned giving programs. I have successfully worked with individuals in the Seattle community and am well aware of the philanthropic strengths Seattle has to offer. With a Masters in Psychology, I thrive on developing authentic relationships with donors. These relationships have helped generate over $25 million in income for both the arts and healthcare communities.As President of Major Connections, my role is to help non-profits effectively align their heartfelt mission with the passion and interests of their donors.
