Excited by the game-changing impact of the Internet on work and business, I envisioned a virtual yet highly approachable communication company that would serve both private and not-for-profit sector clients in Canada and around world. Now trademarked in Canada, The Virtual Writer™ works efficiently and effectively with organizations that would prefer to outsource their communication needs. I have been working almost exclusively for the not-for-profit sector since 2007. Over the years I have developed over 100 Cases for Support for an astonishing range of charitable organizations, associations, hospital foundations and institutions across Canada in my capacity as an independent donor communication specialist/philanthropic writer. I have worked closely with some of Canada’s finest fundraising consultants to write the Cases, grant applications, sponsorship proposals and appeals that have helped to raise millions of dollars for their clients.
