I am a development professional with 10 years of experience in fund raising for organizations. In my previous three formal roles I solicited donor funds from foundations and embassy sources and managed each step of the prospecting process. Moreover, while my on-the-job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including first-rate planning and project management abilities, I excel at: • Writing grant proposals to secure funding. • Preparing effective marketing materials. • Using advanced networking skills to bring in new donors. • Connecting with community resources to assess needs and develop budgets.
