At Color Of Change, I lead national, multi-channel fundraising strategy and increased annual donor revenue by 300% while expanding the active donor base by more than 8,000 supporters. I also increased recurring giving revenue by 90% through digital and grassroots fundraising, conversion strategies, and retention initiatives.

At As You Sow, I transformed the individual giving program, growing annual revenue from $300K to more than $1M in 2023, and developed a planned giving program. Earlier, I grew the major gifts program at People For the American Way by 114%, generating more than $3M annually from a regional portfolio.
