I will bring effective communication skills and a strong desire to provide the highest quality of service possible to promote and advance your organization's mission.
Through my experience as a staff Grant Writer for a large youth nonprofit organization (with a $9.2 million operating budget) and as a Development Officer for a wildlife sanctuary, I developed proficiencies in researching and preparing major gift and grant-funding proposals for private, corporate, and government grant funders; providing grant guidance for the operations and senior management; preparing materials for presentations and donor visits; and monitoring deadlines to ensure the timely completion and submission of applications and reports. I also have extensive experience in donor cultivation and stewardship, drafting narratives for gift acknowledgements, and maintaining accurate donor records. I am confident that my professional experience in development campaigns and special events will be of great service to any nonprofit.
With my proven track record of soliciting, securing, and managing gifts from individual, corporate, and foundation donors coupled with my outstanding project management abilities, I believe I am an ideal candidate for many freelance development and writing positions.
