Communications & Fundraising Consultant
I focus on helping education organizations to advance through communications and fundraising support.
My Services
With a strong dedication to the education field, as a nonprofit consultant I am familiar with the challenges and the opportunities that exist for schools and nonprofits today. I am passionate about tracking trends in media coverage and identifying funding opportunities that are relevant to small and mid-sized organizations.
Communications Planning
For many nonprofits, an intense focus on achieving a mission can stand in the way of verifying that the right organizational message is going out to the right audience. A comprehensive review of an organization’s messaging from the viewpoint of its stakeholders, the media and the community at large is a valuable way for an organization to determine if it is moving in the right direction.
Prospect Research
Identifying leads to relevant foundation and corporate funding sources can be a daunting challenge for any nonprofit. An overview of promising funders and a clear communications strategy are essential tools in this process.
Communications Outreach & Grant Writing
Nonprofits build support with compelling communications materials and clear and concise grant proposals. At small and mid-sized organizations where staff members often hold many roles, assistance with this process can be especially useful.
About
For over 20 years, I have worked and volunteered for education organizations in the nonprofit sector. My brief time as a classroom teacher and ongoing work as a researcher and writer continues to inform my views on organizational advancement. I hold an MAT from New York University in Social Studies Education, a certificate in Fundraising Management from the Lilly School of Philanthropy at Indiana University and a Certificate in Nonprofit Management from the Center for Public and Nonprofit Leadership at Georgetown University. I'm a member of the Communications Network, the Education Writers Association, the Alliance for Nonprofit Management and the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
