Description

For the past 15 years, I have worked extensively with non-profit and governmental organizations, particularly those providing services in communities with demonstrated economic, educational and health disparities. I am committed to improving the opportunities available for individuals in need, and believe that I can assist any organization to increase and diversify revenue as well as to increase the breadth of services offered.

I have extensive experience in business development, including grant writing and research, Public Relations, community, corporate and donor relations, and strategic development. I have been highly successful at proposal writing, and have a wealth of experience with both governmental and private funding sources. I am highly skilled at assisting organizations from start up to expansion, including the development of business and strategic plans, fiscal processes and budgeting, and social and traditional marketing. Some key responsibilities include:
Non-Profit Organizational Development Consultant, Grantwriter & Fundraiser
• Development of agency-wide Strategic Plans for fundraising, communications and marketing toward long-term sustainability, including board development; vendor and donor relationships; grants strategy and writing; social and traditional marketing plans; and restructured requests for foundations and donors based on current needs and assets.
• Development of International, Federal, State, foundation and corporate grant proposals, donor appeals, public/media relations and marketing, and event planning.
• Development of program design, implementation models, and evaluation methodology for local, regional, national and international projects.
• Responsible for organizational and Board of Directors trainings.
• Key international and US-based projects focus on fundraising and development for poverty mitigation, education, maternal/child health, HIV/AIDS, human trafficking, micro-finance, climate change, social justice, empowerment programs for marginalized populations, and health education and access.
