FUNDRAISING. Communications. leadership
The art of fundraising is about connecting passionate people to the missions that move them. It's about the ability to speak to both the head and the heart, to find out what motivates people to give. And that's where I can help!
I can ensure you are communicating with the right people in the right way, and make sure staff and board are clear about their roles in fundraising.
Whether you're an established organization with a special project, or a start-up seeking guidance, let's connect!
