Sade D.

I’m a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) with a Master’s in Public Administration, specializing in fundraising for small, community-based organizations. With over 15 years of experience and a proven track record across public administration and direct service, I’ve successfully secured more than $200 million in funding through 500+ grant applications—ranging from government contracts to foundation and corporate support. I prioritize retainer-based partnerships (starting at $5,000/month), though I remain open to select project-based work. My priority is always building meaningful collaborations with organizations that are ready to grow and invest in lasting community change. Based in the NYC tri-state area, I bring a deep understanding of both systems-level work and frontline service delivery. My portfolio spans education, youth services, community outreach, the arts, women’s rights, food insecurity, homelessness, substance use services, family development, and case management initiatives. I’ve secured grants from $500 for program supplies to $1.2 million for new program launches, and my largest single gift to date is $10 million. My fundraising services include: -Strategic fundraising planning and implementation -Full grant proposals and letters of intent (LOIs) -Customized grant application development -Proposal templates and toolkits -Grant reports and evaluations -Budget development and analysis I’m looking to partner with mission-driven individuals and nonprofits committed to revitalizing their communities and building sustainable futures. Let’s move from surviving to scaling—together.
