Hi, I’m Carol!
I’ve spent the past 25 years in the nonprofit sector, leading teams through growth, expansion and rebuilding.
Most recently, I served as Chief Development Officer for a $14M nonprofit, overseeing both Marketing and Fundraising.
When I joined that team, the organization was primed for a season of growth. But we had no fundraising infrastructure. No strategy. Not even a CRM. Just a great mission and a whole lot of work to do.
We built the department from the ground up, creating a flywheel that doubled revenue, deepened donor engagement, and helped the organization scale — with new facilities and expanded programming to match.
It was amazing. And so much fun!
I understand firsthand the challenge of juggling daily operations while trying to secure the money you need to sustain and grow your mission.
That’s why I’m passionate about fundraising — not as a means to an end, but as a way to fuel your life-changing work.
Financial breakthrough isn’t just possible — it’s within reach.
And you don’t have to navigate it alone.
FAQs

Small to mid-size organizations often have limited budgets, which means they end up hiring junior staff with little fundraising experience. That new hire is going to spend a lot of time trying to figure things out.
And turnover for fundraisers? It’s high. Did you know the average fundraiser stays with an organization less than 18 months?

Strategic expertise from someone who's built fundraising systems from scratch and led teams through organizational growth
Hands-on implementation so strategy doesn't sit on a shelf while you're putting out fires

Fundraising takes time and consistency. Your results will depend on where you’re starting and what your priorities are. And honestly? If a fundraising consultant promises a guaranteed return on investment, that’s probably a red flag.
That said, I expect you to be more than pleased with our outcomes.

Maybe. What I don’t want to do is cost you money without moving your mission forward. Knowing what you need to do is one thing. Having the margin to do it is something else entirely!
What I really want to do is help you Breakthrough … for GOOD!
