Lamar, Colorado, United States
I work in fundraising systems, engagement strategy, and program development, with over a decade of experience building face-to-face fundraising programs and strengthening donor retention for mission-driven organizations. My background includes national mobilization and campaign work with Greenpeace USA, field program leadership, and training fundraisers and managers across multiple cities. I focus on clear standards, strong training, leadership development, and systems that prioritize long-term donor value over short-term volume. I currently contract as a Senior Strategy Advisor with The Canvass, supporting nonprofits in building and owning in-house face-to-face fundraising programs through consulting work and the Canvass Incubator. I’m especially interested in helping organizations move away from vendor-dependent fundraising models and toward sustainable systems they can operate and grow internally. Always open to connecting with people focused on long-term impact and healthy revenue.

Through consulting support and the Canvass Incubator, we work with organizations to design, launch, and strengthen programs built for long-term impact. Our approach is grounded in proven field operations, data-informed strategy, and decades of experience across face-to-face fundraising and movement organizing. The goal is simple: help nonprofits create fundraising infrastructure they can actually own, scale, and sustain.
