Areas of Expertise
Fractional & Interim Leadership
When organizations need experienced fundraising leadership but are not ready to hire full-time, or are navigating a leadership transition, I step in to provide fractional or interim support. I partner closely with executive leaders and boards to guide fundraising strategy while also helping drive the day-to-day work that keeps development moving forward.
Major Gifts Strategy
Periods of growth often require additional fundraising capacity. I support organizations through campaigns and targeted initiatives by helping develop clear strategy, engage leadership and volunteers, and move fundraising efforts forward.
Campaigns & Special Initiatives
Major gifts are the foundation of sustainable fundraising, yet many organizations struggle to build and maintain strong donor pipeline and programs. I work with nonprofit leaders to create strategies, systems, and programs that drive major gifts growth and long-term strength.
