Take Steps Manager

• Sep 2008 - Sep 2011

I was a project manager of our organization’s largest local fundraising event for 3 years, and increased the revenue from $91,000 in 2008 to $200,000 in 2011. I have worked with corporate and individual donors to meet our annual budget, and feel very comfortable identifying, managing and growing these types of relationships within an organization. Social media and written and face-to-face communication were a large part of my position, as I cultivated annual giving with anywhere from 500 – 1,000 individuals annually. Show less
