Over the last 20 years, I've had the great fortune to be able to garner experience in nearly all forms of fund development – city and state funding, federal grants, corporations and foundations, major gifts from individuals, endowment and capital campaigns, individual sustainer programs, direct mail, gala events and house parties.
During this time, I've raised over 8 million dollars (and counting!) that has gone to support rare disease research, social justice causes, community based organizations, environmental, education, and many more worthy efforts.
In addition to several years spent at larger “institutional nonprofits” which include key positions at City of Hope National Medical Center and the Muscular Dystrophy Association, my “on the ground” experiences with social justice and social service organizations enables me to address real life issues with strategies and approaches that work.
