As a consultant, I analyze assets and resources, examine organizational beliefs and systems, and put together plans that set your organization up for goal-oriented sustainable growth. I work with boards, CEO/EDs, and CDO/DoDs to create a strategy that balances high immediate ROI activities with those that build awareness of your brand for future growth.
Services are tailored to clients’ needs. Some examples include:
- Development and communications activities audit, including interviews with key stakeholders
- Integrated development and communications plans with goal-setting
- Donor communications audit with suggested messaging improvements; copywriting as needed
- Major gifts/annual fund audit with integrated plan including goal-setting
- Cases for support and funding proposals
- CEO/ED ghostwriting
- Need something else? Just ask!
Because of my 20 years of experience in both development and communications, I’m adept at assisting organizations looking to review and improve their activities across the “advancement” spectrum. An integrated plan effectively balances the priorities of both development and communications, puts storytelling and transparency at the forefront, and allows you to deepen donor relationships while growing your pipeline of new donors.
