Impact & Testimonials

Since 2011 I’ve helped nonprofits in healthcare, social services, education, and the arts raise over $25 million to fund their transformative missions. Highlights include:

  • Securing a $500,000 State grant to expand Career Technical Education at Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District

  • Rebranding the Sonoma Community Center to emphasize the organization’s commitment to inclusion and equity

  • Building an impact evaluation practice at the UpValley Family Centers, including the creation of a new Data Analyst position

  • Creating a distributed Leadership Team at the Women’s Community Clinic to support staff through a merger
