Fundraising leadership when you need it most.

Hands-on systems building and interim leadership for nonprofits ready to build a stronger, more sustainable fundraising program.

Maybe your development director just left and you need interim coverage while you recruit.

 

Or maybe you have a new director who's 12 months in, working hard, but struggling to move beyond events without systems to support relationship-based fundraising.

 

Perhaps you're hitting goals but it feels chaotic and unsustainable.

​

Whether you need someone to step in and lead, or work alongside your existing team to build the programs and systems they're missing, I help established nonprofits move from reactive to strategic fundraising.

When you need INTERIM LEADERSHIP:

Senior-level oversight and hands-on management to stabilize and strengthen your fundraising program.

When your team needs SYSTEMS & COACHING

Hands-on building and strategic guidance for teams ready to level up and raise more — without burning out.

Hello! I’m Katie.

With close to 20 years of fundraising experience — working in and with nonprofits of all sizes — I've learned what works (and what doesn't).

 

It's a joy to partner with passionate nonprofit leaders to strengthen their fundraising programs — building systems, coaching teams, and creating the foundation for long-term success.

​

I'm based in St. Louis, Missouri and work with mission-driven organizations across the country.​​​
