As a fundraising analyst, I developed a logistic regression model to predict responses to direct mail appeals. On the major gifts side, I conducted an efficient prospect research scan for an upcoming major gifts campaign and advised on Salesforce database design and workflows.

New York, Ny, Us

As a major gifts officer beginning in 2016, I built and managed a portfolio of 80-100 major donors, increasing value by 45% in two years through one-on-one meetings, personalized communications, and excellent customer service. I supported the organization-wide implementation of Salesforce as a designated “super user,” helping to train colleagues and provide user feedback to the database implementation team. I created and analyzed reports in Salesforce and Excel to identify new revenue sources, while also working with board members and other key volunteers to expand the organization's network and bring new donors into the fold. As associate director of operations (2014-2016), I developed and implemented new and improved business operations processes for the state office headquarters. I hired and supervised operations staff responsible for gift processing and office management. I also served as project manager/event manager for board meetings, including agenda development, board book preparation, and logistics, while providing high-level administrative support for the state director.

I managed stewardship and reporting to the organization's principal funders, supporting the external relations team with excellent writing/copyediting and organized project management with stakeholder groups during a strategic planning process. In one of my first experiences with data analysis, I compiled a philanthropy analysis for grant-makers to visualize funding strategies and support future grant-making decisions; I also spearheaded the creation of a private site to improve collaboration with the funder group. I led Salesforce trainings for new staff and managed organization-wide communications to funders, prospects, and other key contacts.

Living abroad for a year and a half showed me the challenges and rewards of learning new customs, a new language and navigating a foreign country. Kudos to all those teachers out there who do a great job, day in and day out.
