Anabel Evora – Professional Introduction With over 15 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, grant development, and philanthropic strategy, I bring a proven record of writing and securing high-impact grants, cultivating transformational gifts, and leading campaigns that surpass goals. My career has been defined by aligning mission with generosity—whether guiding clients as a consultant, writing successful proposals, or stewarding multimillion-dollar portfolios within organizations. As a fundraising consultant and philanthropy advisor, I have supported organizations such as Harlem Wellness Center, Harlem Jets, and Spike’s K9 Fund, Mil Mujeres, and World History Encyclopedia developing comprehensive fundraising plans and strategies that integrate grant writing, major gifts, and donor stewardship. My work includes creating fundraising plans, prospect research, grant proposal writing, digital campaigns, and coaching boards and staff. These efforts have delivered measurable results—boosting revenue and retention, diversifying income streams, and expanding visibility for causes spanning human rights, wellness, the arts, and animal welfare. My grant writing success includes securing a $300,000 grant from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy for Habitat for Humanity of Florida, supporting post-disaster rebuilding efforts across the state. At Harlem Wellness Center, I have written and secured grants that expanded holistic health and racial healing programs in underserved New York communities. Currently, I oversee the grant-seeking and proposal development efforts for the Harlem Jets, helping fund programs that empower youth through sports, mentorship, and education. Equally, my work in major gifts and donor development has produced transformative results. As Director of Philanthropy at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, I built an individual giving program from the ground up, surpassing a $2.225M goal by $225K—the strongest fundraising year in the organization’s history. As Chief Philanthropy Officer at Remote Area Medical, I implemented a major gifts strategy that increased revenue from $2.6M to $4.1M in just 18 months, including a record $500K gift from a first-time supporter. At the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, I secured major corporate gifts of $25K, $100K, and $250K, while launching Café con SHPE, an innovative engagement model that built relationships with corporate partners and employee resource groups. At The Everglades Foundation, I managed a $12M donor portfolio and led a team of seven fundraisers to expand donor engagement and acquisition. Earlier, as Campaign Director with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I coached community leaders through a record-breaking campaign that raised $600K in 10 weeks—an 18% year-over-year increase that earned a top national ranking for the chapter. I bring deep expertise in Raiser’s Edge, Sumac, Bloomerang, and wealth-screening tools, along with strong writing, coaching, and public speaking skills. My approach blends empathy with data-informed strategy, ensuring every proposal, campaign, or donor interaction reflects authenticity, clarity, and measurable impact. I would be honored to bring this breadth of grant writing expertise and major gifts leadership to your organization. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can help secure the resources needed to advance your mission. Anabel Evora Grant Writer | Major Gifts Strategist | Philanthropy Advisor
