DONOR-CENTRIC CAMPAIGN MATERIALS
Campaign decks, letters of inquiry, meeting request letters, and campaign collateral written and designed to reach potential major donors.
UNDERSTAFFED
Leadership needed to add expertise and staffing to execute campaign outreach and build key fundraising capabilities for their national office.
CAMPAIGN EXECUTION
Coaching, grant calendar management, major donor prospecting, and writing support to effectively fine-tune campaign outreach.
INTEGRATED SUPPORT
Close collaboration with multiple department heads, even participating in leadership retreats to promote holistic fundraising efforts and acquisition efforts.
