Building connections. Creating momentum.
Good ideas are everywhere. Sometimes they just need the right support to move forward.
Practical experience. Thoughtful partnership.
I work alongside nonprofits, funders, and community leaders to strengthen good ideas and help them move forward. Drawing on more than three decades of experience in nonprofit leadership, fundraising, philanthropy, and grant making, I bring practical tools, perspective, and can help create a clear path from idea to action while keeping the people closest to the work at the center of it.
How I can help
Every organization and community is different. I tailor my work to what’s needed — whether that means developing a fundraising effort, creating new initiatives, working through an organizational challenge providing coaching and support along the way.
Fundraising & Campaigns
Fundraising strategy, major gifts, capital campaigns, donor relationships, and building sustainable fundraising programs.
Philanthropy & Funder Partnerships
Helping funders clarify their philanthropic goals, develop new initiatives, strengthen nonprofit partnerships, and turn their ideas into thoughtful, meaningful action.
Organizational Planning & Capacity
Helping organizations clarify priorities, strengthen boards and teams, build practical plans, and develop the capacity to carry the work forward.
Ideas Into Action
Putting plans into practice, launching new initiatives, working through challenges and providing coaching and support along the way.
Why Warm River?
Warm River is a place close to home, known for its remarkably clear water. There’s something special about seeing the headwaters of a river, its crystal-clear origin, and following its path downstream as it builds momentum and becomes something larger than its beginnings.
That idea reflects how I approach my work: helping bring clarity and focus to good ideas, working alongside organizations and communities as those ideas take shape, gain momentum, and grow into something more.
Let’s talk about what’s possible.
Have an idea, a challenge, or something you’ve been thinking about? I’d love to hear about it. Let’s grab a cup of coffee—in person or over Zoom—and talk about what might be possible.
No pitch. No obligation. Just a conversation.
