Specializing in developing partnerships with Financial Institutions and professional services to connect their staff and leaders to philanthropic initiatives in their locality. Cultivating a community of professionals into a culture that gives back to create a thriving community. Raising funds and establishing corporate partnerships to not only recognize the commitment of companies in our community but to highlight the positive changes that affect those who need it most. Whether it's through joint volunteerism, presentations, one-on-one conversations, I connect individuals to philanthropic goals that meet their needs, whether it's just the start of their careers or they have been donating for decades. Establishing a mutually trusting relationship between donors, the non-profit sector, and educational resources is key to developing the pipeline to fundraising, commitment, and advocacy for our mutual goals.
