Fundraising Help You Can Trust

You have big plans to change the world. But there is one problem: You aren’t raising enough money yet.


It is hard to find an expert who knows how to find donors and keep them. It is even harder to find a full-time pro when your budget is tight. 


You might feel like you are running in circles. You are working hard, but you aren't moving forward. 


Credentials That Back My Results

✔ Certified in Fundraising Copywriting 

✔ Certified in Philanthropic Psychology (the science of why people give) 

✔ Certified in Website Usability

✔ Former Executive Director and Director of Development 


Why Work With Me?

  • Nonprofit Specialist: I know what works in the real world.
  • Results-Focused: I care about your mission as much as you do.
  • Flexible Support: Expert help designed for any budget.

 

Your Impact Plan

I use a proven plan to help you scale. In just three years, I used these steps to secure corporate partners and grow an individual donor base tenfold.


1. Securing Corporate Partners 

Stop asking for small "handouts" and start building big alliances. I help you find companies that want to support your work. 


I help you build relationships and show businesses why partnering with you is good for them.


2. Growing Your Base of Individual Donors

I turn strangers into lifelong supporters. I create messages that meet donors where they are. I help you build a community of people who feel proud to give to your cause.


3. Public Relations (PR) & Media

I help you tell your story to the world. From local news to national magazines, I get your mission in front of thousands and sometimes millions. This builds trust and brings in new donors who never knew you existed.


I work with midsize nonprofits ($1M–$5M+) that are ready to scale and looking for a strategic partner. If you have the vision and urgency to move the needle, let’s talk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we pay you a commission or a percentage of what we raise?While I understand why nonprofits ask this, I follow the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Code of Ethics, which prohibits commission-based fundraising. This ensures that the focus remains on building long-term donor relationships and ethical stewardship rather than "quick-fix" transactions.


We are a very small grassroots organization. Which package is best for us?

If you are starting out, my 60-Minute Fundraising Accelerator is the perfect way to get expert clarity with a very affordable investment.
