I am an experienced and successful consultant who is committed to building fundraising capacity in the nonprofit sector. I use a well-documented process, my extensive training experience and deep understanding of philanthropic best practices to equip both staff and board for financial sustainability. I have partnered with more than 300 nonprofit organizations throughout the United States, and I also am a faculty member of the Fund Raising School at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.
