What I Do
I am a Fundraising Coach for beginner fundraisers who want to contribute more and make a clear impact for the cause and community they care about. I teach them how to go from feeling overwhelmed, confused and lost when they think about fundraising to being confident and knowledgeable to take the first actions and build a strong foundation for future success.
You'll gain access to essential mindset shifts to keep you focused on your mission and reach your goals every single time. You'll apply my step-by-step customizable framework for identifying, planning and implementing your first fundraising campaign.
You’ll gain insight into the meaningful ways to connect with both existing and new donors and increase their participation in year-round fundraising projects.
You'll develop the confidence building skills to grow a strong support community and work towards visible, measurable outcomes for long-term impact.
My SECRET Formula
In my 15+ years of field work and research, I discovered that we can tap into unlimited resources for heart-centered storytelling as the main driver for community impact. I also discovered that building mindful fundraising campaigns was NOT at odds with helping organizations achieve their goals. I learned:
- How to build time-leveraged campaigns that allowed to scale organizational impact without burning out.
- How to create and promote fundraisers packed with so much community-building value that donors would look for our work over and over again.
- How to rapidly grow donors list from a small frustrating spreadsheet of passive supporters to a wave of loyal community members.
- How to optimize and automate those efforts so that I would never have to explain to the people we served why our programs and services would have to stop.
These are the steps I followed to achieve, exceed and scale up all fundraising goals in my work with international non-profit organizations of all sizes:
- MINDSET The key shift from chasing dollars to having donors look for my organization's work.
- COMMUNITY Realistic goal setting to allow for meaningful messages and purposeful relationships in all fundraising campaigns to drive increased revenue.
- ENGAGEMENT Analyzing donor behavior to design effective campaigns and achieve superior results through cultivating time-tested connections.
- GRATITUDE Understanding why donors give and how to enhance their experience and guide their journey from a one-time donation to long-term loyal ambassadors.
