Are you a development professional working with a nonprofit organization with a small Development Department? Do you wear many fundraising hats, working endless hours each day just to keep your head above water? Do you need help, but don't have trained volunteers or the budget to hire additional staff?

Background
|
I began my fundraising career 28 years ago as a Grant Writer for a small San Diego nonprofit. After 8 years, I expanded my knowledge by working with additional nonprofit organizations and venturing into fundraising areas, including special events, direct mail appeals, donor relations, and marketing and communications. I earned my Certificate of Fund Raising Management (CFRM) in 2009 and became a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) in 2017. I continue to build on my nonprofit fundraising knowledge year after year.
