I have helped nonprofits raise more than $5M through capital campaigns, major gifts, grants, and corporate partnerships. CFRE certified, MPA, Top Rated with 100% job success. Most organizations I work with have the same problem: a mission people believe in, and a fundraising operation held together by spreadsheets, goodwill, and one exhausted person. I build the system that fixes it. WHAT I DO GRANTS. Prospect research, funder matching, LOIs, full proposals, and reporting. I find the funders whose priorities actually match your programs, then write the case that wins them. MAJOR AND RECURRING GIFTS. Donor qualification, moves management, ask strategy, and stewardship pathways that turn one time donors into multi year partners. CAMPAIGNS. Capital, annual, and year end campaigns from feasibility through close, including case for support, gift tables, and solicitor training. CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS AND SPONSORSHIP. Packaging, pricing, prospecting, and pitch materials. SYSTEMS. CRM selection and implementation (Salesforce, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, Little Green Light), donor journey design, and KPI dashboards so you can see what is working before the fiscal year closes. WHERE I HAVE DONE IT National education nonprofits, faith based organizations, disability services, youth development, and community impact groups. I have built development functions from zero and managed donor portfolios up to seven figures. HOW I WORK Fast, direct, and documented. You get deliverables you can hand to a board, not a strategy deck that sits in a folder. If you are hiring, include two things in your message: your current annual revenue and the number you need to hit. I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for the job.
