Message

At Foster Love, I created reports and managed a development database to track donor information, gifts, and relationships. I researched corporate funders and sponsorship opportunities, and met with donors to discuss programs and funding needs.

At EngagedIndia, I established strategic plans and fiscal budgets, researched and wrote grant proposals, and cultivated relationships with businesses, community leaders, and foundations. I also served as a board member for Unite 2 Fight Poverty, an organization focused on advocacy and poverty-reduction legislation.
