Corporate Partnerships and Fundraising Communications So Your Donors Say Yes
You have big plans to change the world. But there is one problem: You aren’t raising enough money yet.
Finding someone who knows how to attract donors, keep them engaged, and grow revenue is hard.
That’s where I come in.
Development Director support without a full-time hire
If fundraising has outgrown your Executive Director and you want more bang for your buck, I step in as your on-demand Development Director for 6 or 12 months. In many cases it's better than hiring in-house.
I provide hands-on leadership to:
You get senior-level expertise.
Clarity, confidence, and a plan that works
Ready to grow your individual donors and corporate partnerships, but you need direction?
My custom coaching helps you:
You’ll move forward with confidence and a clear roadmap for growth.
Visibility that turns into funding
Don’t settle for being invisible.
Public relations positions your nonprofit in front of the people who matter most. My goal is to ensure that by the time you ask for a donation, the answer is already "yes."
I specialize in campaign-specific PR that creates the urgency donors need to fund your next project immediately.
I help you:
You get the benefits of a PR firm without the cost.
Public relations acts as a turbocharger for your fundraising.
Science calls this the Mere Exposure Effect—the proven tendency for people to develop a preference for things simply because they are familiar with them. PR ensures you are the familiar, trusted choice.
