If you feel your department could use a tune-up or needs some specific help, please contact me and let’s talk about it. I absolutely love teaching, consulting, and building fundraising strategy.
​
Here are some of the things that I can help you with as a consultant:

• Conducting bench-marking studies and development audits
• Facilitating the strategic planning process and drafting tactical plans
• Analysis of you institution’s culture of philanthropy
• Copywriting assistance for direct mail, planned giving materials, and major gift proposals
• Development of annual giving, social media, and day of giving plans
• Training for new development staff
• Policy creation and procedural documentation

My previous clients include Samford University and the University of Alabama. I have been a regularly faculty member for Academic Impression's conferences and webinars, helping hundreds of fundraising professionals and institutions. I am a published author on the topic of script-writing for fundraising. You can view my complete bio by visiting my Linked Profile here. 

I can look at one aspect of your program (phonathon, major gifts, etc.) or at your entire shop. I could do the analysis via distance (looking at reports and interviewing your staff via phone or video chat) or I could come to you in person. I do have a full-time position though and need to schedule early and work everything together seamlessly.

I’m excited about helping more institutions reach their fundraising potential.

Contact me here and let’s chat.
