- I care about your mission
Let’s make your mission unstoppable
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. You feel tired and stressed.
But there is good news! I can help you grow your mission.
Here is how I help you win:
- Corporate Partners: I help you find companies that want to partner with you.
- More Donors: I write letters, newsletters, and emails that make people want to give.
- Getting the Word Out: I use public relations (PR) to tell your story to the world so more people and corporations donate to your cause.
- Improve Website Usability: I make it fast and easy for people to give money online.
Are you ready to grow? I work with people who are ready to take action right now.
