Cathy Hampton Email & Phone Number

I am an experienced development professional who works on behalf of an array of progressive and established nonprofit organizations committed to good works, education, healthcare, religious tolerance and world peace. In partnership with my clients, I help to increase an organization's capacity to transform the lives of their constituents, and support their efforts to secure funding through creative grant writing based on research-based facts and optimizing board affiliations and connections to prospects. My research into the history of theology, philanthropy and charity has prepared me to help these organizations achieve their missions of peace and justice in the world. My work as a grant writing and development specialist for both non-profit and faith-based NGO’s will help these organizations increase their capacity to transform the lives of many individuals.Specialties: New donor identificationProspect researchCorporate givingFamily foundation givingInternational philanthropyFaith-based givingAnnual giving
