Over the years I have worked with several nonprofits as a volunteer because I am committed to their mission and/or service to the community. I'm happy to offer whatever general fundraising advice I can to just about any organization free of charge - what's the use in all this experience if you don't help others? The capital campaigns I've been involved with at the leadership level locally are 2024 Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Igniting Connections in Hickory, NC, and 2008 Old Post Office… Show more Over the years I have worked with several nonprofits as a volunteer because I am committed to their mission and/or service to the community.
