Santa Cruz, California

I raised funds for the nation's leading organization dedicated to symphonic music by living composers, directed by Marin Alsop. I wrote proposals, ran direct mail campaigns, organized sponsorships, and engaged with donors to fund truly unusual projects. I also wrote and edited program notes for concerts of new music. I researched and secured unanticipated grants (including the Festival's first-ever from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation) that helped bring the organization from deficit to surplus.
