Bio
Sidney C. Freitag-Fey, CFRE
I've had the pleasure of working with Sally on an array of fundraising campaigns, strategy, and operations during our time together at Heartland Alliance. Sally is a savvy, poised, and polished professional who is an incredible fundraiser--and an incredible person. Her work has included individual giving, special events, corporate sponsorship, and thousands of small and large tasks that every development department relies on. Her passion and focus on the mission informs the work she does, and makes her a compelling and engaging advocate.

Sally has a positive passion for life and brings this passion to work every day. She finds a way to take nearly any project and personalize it in order to spread this passion to others on the team. I recommend Sally for anything that life can throw at her.
