Your cause,

My job is to help you finance your mission.
Whether it’s democracy, human rights, women’s rights, criminal justice reform, climate change or a similar social justice cause, I want your organization to be able to stay in the struggle for the long haul.

about
_edited_edited.jpg)
I trained for a career in theatre but found my calling in rights-related fundraising during a two-year stint at Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Nine years spent at the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights (now Human Rights First), in successively senior positions, gave me the chance to raise record sums while honing my strategic and leadership skills.
Since starting my consulting practice in 2003, my inspiring clients – around the country and the world – have been my fundraising school. Through them, I’ve learned how to:
-
Understand your mission in money terms.
-
Evaluate your fundraising market.
-
Turn your funders into allies.
-
Plan for fundraising success.
-
Negotiate asymmetrical power dynamics.
Let me share these lessons with you.
