Thoughtful strategy and Fundraising Support for the Moments that Matter

Book a Discovery Call

I partner with nonprofit and philanthropic leaders to strengthen fundraising strategy, capital campaigns, and organizational alignment in service of the public good. My work supports organizations advancing community-centered, place-based initiatives at the intersection of environment, innovation, recreation, access, and advocacy.

I help organizations navigate moments of growth, transition, and opportunity—bringing clarity, structure, and steady counsel to complex fundraising and strategic challenges. This includes preparing for and leading capital campaigns, stabilizing and growing fundraising programs, and supporting leadership and boards through change.

My work has supported organizations leading public realm initiatives, parks and public space projects, environmental and climate efforts, youth access and opportunity programs, and cross-sector, public-private partnerships. These efforts often operate within public-facing, highly visible systems that require trust, alignment, and thoughtful engagement across multiple stakeholders.

How I Partner With You.

  • Organizational Strategy, Planning and Leadership

    I partner with executive directors and boards to clarify strategy, strengthen leadership alignment, and build the structures needed to move from vision to action. Through strategic planning and fractional leadership support, I help organizations establish clear priorities, stronger fundraising systems, and practical plans that support growth and change.

  • Capital Campaigns & Fundraising

    I guide nonprofit leaders through capital campaigns and major fundraising efforts, from early readiness and feasibility to ongoing campaign counsel. My work focuses on clear strategy, thoughtful messaging, and leadership alignment—helping organizations navigate complexity, engage boards and donors with confidence, and pursue ambitious goals sustainably.

  • Insights, Studies & Philanthropic Advisory

    I design studies and advisory engagements that turn research and stakeholder listening into clear direction. Working with funders, collaboratives, and nonprofits, I help leaders understand their landscape, elevate community perspectives, and move forward with confidence and focus.
