I have over 15 years of experience as a foundations portfolio manager at a large environmental organization with a highly successful and sophisticated development operation. I have supported initiatives in regional, national, and international climate policy, legal defense of environmental regulations, fisheries management, western water policy climate resilience and adaptation, land use and transportation, conservation on private lands, and sustainable supply chains.Consulting services include fundraising strategy development, and proposal research, writing, and editing. I also offer support to executive team and program staff to develop and articulate all aspects of their projects including goals, theories of victory, strategies, critical paths, risk assessment, and monitoring and evaluation. The principles that guide my fundraising efforts are systematic, and include being proactive in anticipating opportunities and challenges, monitoring philanthropic trends, and leveraging relationships, successes, and other points of influence wherever possible. I work to gain a thorough understanding of donor prospects, determine optimum styles of communication, and find creative and substantive ways to engage. .
