At Alphonsus Academy & Center for the Arts, I am responsible for approximately 15% of the operating budget. Through annual giving strategies including direct mail, grant writing, special events, corporate sponsorship and more, I consistently exceed the prior year's fundraising success. In addition, I lead a team responsible for the parish-wide communications strategy including website management and social media management, as well as the creation of regular and special print communications.After identifying a need to reverse declining annual giving and relaunch a stalled capital campaign on the parish side of operations, I prepared a staffing plan to unify the parish's development, communications, and stewardship activities with those of the parish school where I had realized success for several years. To address declining annual giving, I analyzed giving trends and then wrote and implemented the parish's first strategic plan to address the fund development and communications initiatives necessary to achieve success. From creating standard operating procedures for data management to instituting donor stewardship best practices and everything in between, annual giving trends are on the rise for the first time in nearly a decade. Responsible for the strategic development, implementation, and management of a $3.8 million capital campaign, the largest in the parish's history, I partnered with a consulting firm to complete the campaign feasibility study, set funding priorities, recruit campaign volunteers, prepare campaign materials, and launch the campaign's silent phase. Campaign work is ongoing as I guide volunteers through the solicitation of more than 2,500 donors.
