WHY TAKE IT FROM ME?

I chose to make it my career to help nonprofits succeed in their missions to serve essential needs in the communities that we all depend on. I was trained at one of the leading nonprofit consultancies in the country and went on to establish the boutique firm called LSC. Throughout my career I have been involved with initiatives that cumulatively raised more than $1 Billion. I have guided extraordinary fundraising campaigns that have received Transformational-level gifts for established institutions from UCSF Medical Center, to The March of Dimes, to American Prairie, and more.

And then I realized that one of my passion projects during the pandemic – the 50-episodes of Creating Community for Good Podcast – sparked joy in me and turned on lights for others. The feedback was so positive that I was compelled to consider which elements of organizational success beyond Major Gifts are the most critical. Every organization must build their base of supporters, generate brand awareness, and create a sense of community. That's why I've taken an inventory of what the strongest and most innovative organizations are doing, brought in other area expertise, and co-created this accessible, affordable and approachable digital toolkit for activating the best of End-of-year Fundraising. 

Nonprofits do not lack energy and commitment. That is in their DNA. However, many nonprofits need knowhow and guidance to become more effective. My teammates and co-creators, Mike Spear and Heather Sittig, and I developed this guide for that very reason. The core content is carefully outlined in a thorough End-of-year Fundraising Playbook that includes everything we know to launch an effective year-end campaign. We supplemented that with a 2-page Checklist of Activities (aka Cheat Sheet) and a fun Master Class Video Series between Mike and me. With these tools under your belt, any nonprofit can launch a successful campaign in a week. Yes, you can raise money like a pro, without hiring one!
