About Kristin L. Scott

I am a results driven non-profit leader with a successful career of initiating, fostering and strengthening relationships with internal and external steakholders to secure critical financial support. I have extensive experience in fundraising, project management, team leadership and volunteer management. With strong business development skills, I have successfully built new fundraising programs through a collaborative approach and a focus on understanding the needs of partners. Through trust-based and intentional relationship building, I’ve excelled at navigating a large complex decentralized University setting and Heathcare nonprofit.I am firm believer in the value of team. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Ultimately, I strive to be an organizational leader and team player, who will foster innovation while focusing on strategic planning, working with benefactors to maximize their support, and inspire colleagues to reach their fullest potential.
