Mandy V. Email and Phone Number

OPEN TO FULL-TIME AND CONSULTING WORKMy experiences are as a nonprofit, foundation & government professional with excellent grantmaking, grant monitoring, grant evaluation, grants management, event planning, research, fundraising, communications, community relations and engagement, program development, technology use & management, executive support, and project management skills, focusing on Michigan and Indiana. I have a passion for all facets of the nonprofit sector, but especially community development, nonprofit capacity-building, social justice, environmental and climate justice, philanthropy & volunteerism, diversity & inclusion, and education. I am also deeply interested in grantmaking research and evaluation, as well as the way technology can be used to improve the field of philanthropy. My fundraising skills include: major gift, middle gift & annual fund solicitations, foundation relations, corporate and government relations, development of fundraising plans, writing and editing, grant proposal writing and development, budgeting, donor relations / volunteer relations & management, stewardship, prospect research, special events, technology & database expertise, board development, communications, social media, and interpersonal skills.My broad base of knowledge about the nonprofit sector affords me the ability to understand and analyze problems and identify appropriate solutions. My experiences as a grantseeker, a grantee and a grantmaker help me to empathize with constituents and allow me to develop diplomatic and effective grantmaking/donor relationships with constituents and their communities while still focusing on an organization’s strategic grantmaking/fundraising plans.
