Hi, I'm Bethany.

 

I help small non-profits develop practical, personalized and sustainable fundraising strategies and plans that feel manageable and purposeful. 

​

For more than 20 years, I’ve worked alongside nonprofit leaders who care deeply about their mission, and feel stretched trying to fund it.

​

Fundraising doesn't have to feel overwhelming. 

​

Throughout my career, I've raised tens of millions of dollars through annual fund, major gifts, and concentrated campaigns. I’ve coached non-profit teams, executive directors and boards on fundraising models that are both meaningful and measurable. 

​

I earned my MBA in Leadership from Bluffton University and completed a Certificate in Fundraising Management through the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, where I studied campaign strategy, planned giving, and donor communication. 

​

Small nonprofits are often closest to the heart of a community, and strong communities are what we all need to thrive. When non-profits choose to invest in their mission by building strong fundraising systems,  they create impact that gives back to the very community that sustains them. 

​

And that is the beauty of philanthropy!

​

If you’re ready to build sustainable fundraising practice that supports your mission for years to come, I’d love to partner with you to propel toward what’s next.
