I offer tailored fundraising solutions that can help your organization reach its full potential. My expertise spans various aspects of fundraising, including donor engagement, grant writing, event planning, and campaign management.
My services are entirely customizable, allowing me to tailor them to your organization's specific fundraising needs and budget.

Together, we can develop a personalized plan that will maximize your fundraising potential and help you achieve your goals.
If you don’t have the time or resources to run you own fundraising program, I can do it for you.

I take a hands-on approach to implementation to ensure your plan is executed effectively, with precision, and within budget. Whether it’s crafting compelling appeals, writing winning grant proposals, developing donor engagement strategies, managing campaigns, or organizing small special events, I can manage your fundraising program from start to finish.

Grant writing can unlock critical sources of funding. But it’s also time-consuming and can easily slip to the bottom of your to-do list. My grant writing services can help secure the funding your organization needs, while you focus on the day-to-day.
I can prepare and submit applications on your behalf. I take the time to understand your organization’s mission, and work closely with you to craft a compelling application tailored to the specific requirements of each funding opportunity. I can also identify potential new sources of funding.

I don’t track hours as I focus on deliverables. This means that you’ll never have to pay more than the monthly fee as stated in the contract.
I can estimate how much certain projects or programs might grow with the support of new systems and processes, but I can’t tell you exactly how much money you will raise.
No. My fee is based solely on the amount of effort required to prepare the application.
I have a long track record of writing successful grants, but there are many reasons why a funder will award one organization and not another. For example, some funders prefer to spread grants across the country and others are unlikely to award first-time applicants. While I am committed to submitting the strongest proposal possible on your behalf, I can’t guarantee that it will be successful.
No. there are so many factors that can affect the success of a fundraising program, and I can’t control all of them. For organizations that have never done any fundraising, it takes more time to build a program, especially in terms of individual giving. I can tell you that most of my clients renew for a second term.
