Catherine Ashton Email & Phone Number

I'm on a mission to change the way nonprofits raise money.That's why I started Giant Squid Group--to help start-up and small nonprofits land donors, win grants, and fun their missions. And I'm proud to say that each year, my clients raise millions of dollars and have an incredible impact on their communities. I fell in love with fundraising right out of college, and am as energized by asking a prospect for $50,000 as I am creating an Excel dashboard. Today, I help nonprofits increase revenue while creating authentic relationships with constituents. Whether I’m writing a $250,000 RFP or managing a major event, I thrive off creatively solving problems in a way that makes my clients light up with excitement, confidence, and passion. That's how I helped one Austin-area nonprofit increase their new grant funding by 80% in the first year, empowered a small equine therapy organization to meet their fundraising goals when they held their first fundraising event ever, and worked with a Chicago-based education organization to nearly double their marketing impact over the course of six months. When I’m away from my desk, I’m searching out a great glass of whiskey, working on a DIY project, or hiking with my feisty daughter and lazy rescue dog.
