About Me
Every nonprofit leader deserves to feel equipped — not overwhelmed — when fundraising. My mission is to guide Executive Directors and boards to raise money with clarity, confidence, and courage.​​
​
​I bring together 20 years of hands-on fundraising experience in health, science, education, and the arts, a decade of certified coaching practice, and advanced leadership training to help nonprofit leaders raise revenue with purpose and confidence. Through my coaching practice, I bring that experience directly to nonprofit leaders through personalized coaching, fundraising training, and board development programs.
​​
I know from experience that fundraising can be joyful, strategic, and deeply human. When leaders are supported and prepared, generosity grows.
​
If you’re ready to move beyond transactional asks and build a culture of philanthropy that lasts, I’d love to partner with you.
Services
EXECUTIVE COACHING
For Executive Directors &
Senior Leaders
Leadership in fundraising requires more than strategy — it demands clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience.
Through one-on-one executive coaching, I help nonprofit leaders strengthen their fundraising mindset, communicate with authenticity, and lead teams and boards toward shared goals.
Together, we:
-
Identify the beliefs and behaviors that drive (or block) fundraising success
-
Build your personal leadership toolkit for donor, staff, and board engagement
-
Create a sustainable rhythm for strategic thinking and self-renewal
This work empowers you to lead from a place of vision and calm confidence — even amid uncertainty.
BOARD TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT
For Nonprofit Boards & Leadership Teams
A strong board is one of an organization's most powerful fundraising assets. I design and facilitate customized board workshops that transform fundraising from an obligation into a shared calling.
Each session blends education, strategy, and inspiration to help board members:
-
Understand their essential role in fundraising and stewardship
-
Build comfort and confidence in donor conversations
-
Strengthen collaboration with staff leadership
-
Reconnect with the organization’s mission and impact
These sessions leave boards energized, aligned, and ready to champion your fundraising vision.
FUNDRAISER DEVELOPMENT & TEAM COACHING
For Development Directors &
Fundraising Teams
Even the most talented fundraisers benefit from coaching, structure, and inspiration. I partner with fundraising professionals to elevate both skills and mindset — helping them thrive in high-pressure environments and build authentic donor relationships.
Services include:
-
Coaching and mentoring for new or transitioning development leaders
-
Team workshops on strategy, storytelling, and donor relationship management
-
Customized growth plans aligned with organizational goals
The result is a confident, connected development team equipped to sustain meaningful donor partnerships — and exceed fundraising goals.
