I work with nonprofit leaders to strengthen their organizations in four areas: planning, strategy, positioning, and funding. This work may include fundraising, program, or operational planning. Strategy advice most often focuses on sustainability, 2-5 year strategic and tactical goals, and coaching Executive Directors/CEOs, boards of directors, and advisory councils. I also advise clients on how best to align and communicate their mission and mission-critical programming to improve their position in the very competitive market for nonprofit funding, volunteer leaders, and staff. With a strong track record in fundraising, I offer comprehensive coaching and consulting services in capital campaigns, foundation and corporate grants, and principal and major gifts.
