Do you need to get an edge over the competition in the crowded marketplace of fundraising? My services can give you that advantage to ...

— WIN MORE GRANTS
My grant writing, fundraising consultation, and direct mail program planning and copy-writing services have raised millions of dollars for charitable organizations. I have experience working in healthcare, education, human services, youth programs, medical research, homelessness, and the arts. I specialize in grants research to identify your best prospects and match your case for support to private and community foundations, businesses, and corporations.

— INCREASE DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS
I can create or enhance your donor program, with direct mail, donor recognition, cultivation, and events, boosting your annual donations.

— DEVELOP BEQUESTS
Every fundraising program should encourage donors to include your nonprofit in their wills. I can help you develop a bequest club and tie it to your annual fund development.

— COMMUNICATE CLEARLY AND PERSUASIVELY
Writing and editing to support your fundraising program is my specialty, with experience in print and online communications. I can help you develop an emailing program, launch a blog, make a newsletter sizzle, and use social media.

— PLAN STRATEGICALLY
I have decades of experience in developing and refining annual giving and major gift programs.

— FIND A FISCAL SPONSOR
I can assist you in finding a sponsor and begin raising funds while waiting to get your nonprofit status.
