My goal is to help small nonprofit organizations create a sustainable development plan. I am especially focused on coaching individuals and boards to become more successful development allies for their organization. Given the limited resources available for most nonprofits, my interest lies in helping smaller nonprofits to create a successful development plan. My services are tailored for the organization's needs, from one hour a week and up, depending on what is required, and my initial conversation is always offered at no charge, so that we can determine if I am the right fit for the organization.
