    ***$3.3M raised for clients in 2022*** I'm a constructive partner and trusted advisor building capacity and skills to strengthen development teams. As an experienced project developer and manager, I know the challenges of balancing your mission and your budget. Does your nonprofit need to do more in the world? Are you at or beyond your capacity? If you want to get (or keep) your organization out of triage mode, send me a message and we'll set up a time to talk. SERVICES --Fractional COO --Interim Chief-of-Staff --Strategic Planning --Project Development / Management --Capacity Assessment --Change Management --Work Plans for Staff and Volunteers --Board Development --Grants Strategy, Research, and Applications *** CAPACITY BUILDING --Corrected imbalances in individual workloads, mission focus, and expected revenue on a small team’s 10-year work plan. Without canceling any anticipated projects, prevented periods of undue expectations of employees, periods of seemingly disappointing revenue, and mission drift. --Created work plans for individual employees that balanced efficiency, agility, and organizational culture. --Coordinated multi-day, peer-to-peer fundraising event for 45 to 65 participants that annually raised $200,000 in unrestricted funds. --Facilitated practical and strategic working partnerships that extended organizational capacity, lowered cost-of-entry to produce a product, and continues to generate income for partners long after the completed work. --Built nonprofit development strategy integrating grant writing, fundraising, and administrative workloads to maximize capacity to seek funds without overburdening staff. MISSION STRATEGY --Advised executive teams, boards, and project staff in development of new programs and revenue streams --Wrote community needs assessment and analyzed qualitative and quantitative research conducted by a local nonprofit, to be disseminated broadly to organizational, municipal, and funding partners. GRANTS AND FUNDING STRATEGY --Developed a funding strategy for a nonprofit previously lacking any organized grants program. Mentored new development director through several initial applications and secured board approval for several more. --Trained local small business mentors and their clients on the risks and rewards of grant funding, both in one-on-one calls and through group webinars. --Advised nascent nonprofits on development strategy during the pre-501(c)3 phase of operations.

    Creating consumer-centric communications and evaluating their efficacy has been my focus for the past fifteen-plus years. As I’ve worked in the nonprofit sector most recently, being nimble and making the best use of my resources have been the keys to my success. I enjoy working on projects that present challenges but are also satisfying to complete. I have an undergrad degree in marketing and an MBA, so I always write with the end result in mind: what do I want my reader to do? Crafting any piece, I believe, starts with answering that fundamental question. I have extensive grant writing experience for both private foundations and government entities, so I am able to connect thematic areas to funding streams through thoughtful writing. I look forward to learning more about your next endeavor.
