I help purpose-driven organizations raise money through calm strategy, clear communications, and thoughtful coaching.

Simplifying complexity is at the heart of what I do. Creating a clear roadmap and crisp messaging to mobilize resources you need is the foundation of the Root to Rise approach.

Whether you’re building a program from the ground up or diversifying your funding, I help nonprofits design a strategy that fits their capacity and sustains their mission.

AREAS OF FOCUS

Create a diversified fundraising strategy that funds your program and organizational goals. A monthly work plan to guide the day-to-day and a dashboard to track results.

Build a robust pipeline of aligned funders and map an annual grant calendar. Write a persuasive case for support and grant template to submit applications with ease.

Write compelling messaging that connects with individual donors. Create a communications plan and content calendar to engage supporters and retain donors.
