Nonprofit Strategy & Development

I help nonprofits do the hard parts.

Launching. Fundraising. Figuring out what's actually working.

Grant writing. Prospect research. Event production. Systems building. I don't just advise. I do the work.

Six ways I build nonprofit infrastructure.

Grant writing at a 75% win rate. Systems that actually run themselves. Events that raise real money. Launches that don't collapse in year two. Pick what you need. Or call me to figure it out together.

01

Grant Writing & Strategy

75% award rate. From federal grants to major private foundations. I research, write, and manage the full cycle end to end.

02

Prospect Research

I find the donors, foundations, and funders you didn't know existed. Deep dives to identify major gift potential and foundation fit.

03

Development Plans

Custom fundraising roadmaps. No guesswork, just a strategy that compounds across years.

04

Event Production

From signature galas to intimate donor gatherings. I've produced a single event that raised $2M in one night, and managed audiences of 600+.

05

Nonprofit Launch & Structure

Articles, Bylaws, 501(c)(3), board development, first-year fundraising strategy. Start strong, stay compliant.

06

Dissolution & Transition

Not every organization lasts forever. I help nonprofits close ethically, transfer assets, and transition programs with dignity.

Networker. Researcher. Problem Solver.

"I don't fit in a box.
I build the box,
then figure out
how to fill it."

Over 20 years working with nonprofits at every stage. Launch. Growth. Crisis. Dissolution.

I've served as Interim Executive Director, Development Associate, and Database Consultant. I've worked with organizations ranging from federally funded human services agencies to international philanthropists and world-renowned artists.

Early in my career, I co-authored seven publications for La Strada Moldova, focused on migrant women, human trafficking prevention, and family violence. That experience taught me that impact requires infrastructure, not just passion.

My work has been covered in Forbes, LA Times, The Times of London, The Sunday Times, The Daily Mail, Palm Beach Illustrated, PopSugar, WPB Magazine, MSN, Thrillist, Reader's Digest, and Manchester Evening News.

Today, I bring that same rigor to every client I take on.

The numbers behind the work.

Three decades. Hundreds of projects. Here's what that looks like in numbers.
