Welcome! It's nice to meet you, and I am glad that you are here. I can help you fundraise and support your mission, making you more successful than you ever imagined...
​
With more than 25 years of experience in nonprofit development, I partner with organizations to build stronger, more reliable fundraising programs and systems.
​
Sustainable fundraising is our goal—even without “angel donors.”
​
Small to mid-sized nonprofits typically need to 'do more with less'—all the while navigating inconsistent revenue, limited donor pipelines, and an overreliance on grants. The pressure to grow funding, while continuously advancing your mission, is a never-ending reality. Without appropriate systems in place, it is often difficult to see a clear path forward.​
​​
My experience includes community-based, regional, and national nonprofits - including the Savannah VOICE Festival, ShoreRivers, and the National Parks Conservation Association (among others). I am deeply committed to mission-driven work—and to your fundraising and nonprofit success!

My Style
Together, we will strengthen prospect-identification, and build effective donor systems. We will also support long-term funding stability by growing both major gift and legacy giving programs.
In addition to raising more money, we will create a fundraising approach that is more manageable, more strategic, and well aligned with your mission.
​
Naturally, our work will be collaborative and tailored to your organization’s size and capacity—so you can more meaningfully engage donors, improve retention, and build revenue momentum.
​
If your organization is ready for a more sustainable path forward, I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss how my services match your needs.
