I partner with nonprofit executives, development staff, and boards to design and implement sustainable funding strategies. My work includes overall funding strategy, major donor development (including DAFs), capital campaigns, strategic list activation and expansion, sponsorship, board training, and comprehensive grant strategy. With 30+ years of experience in nonprofit funding, donor engagement, and development, I help clients move from fragmented fundraising to disciplined, right-sized, predictable pipelines that are achievable. I am known for Development on Demand™, providing flexible development support aligned with clients’ organizational capacity. My proprietary Nonprofit Funding Made Easy™ and 80/20 Funding Framework™ provide the system to achieve client funding goals.
