Nonprofit Sector

I minored in Nonprofit Administration at the University of Oregon. Since, I’ve gained over a decade of hands-on experience in just about every facet of the nonprofit sector, from auditing nonprofits’ federally funded programs to providing direct services to people experiencing homelessness. Past experience from my work in the field includes:

  • Completed a prospect research internship with The Carter Center in Atlanta where I analyzed donor data for Chief Development Officers and drafted donor profiles, internal briefs, and other materials

  • Worked with Project Community Connections, Inc., an Atlanta-based homelessness nonprofit, to write an in-depth case statement for donors to support its capital campaign and shorter marketing materials

  • Served as the Development Director for Knoxville-based Sundress Academy for the Arts, where I secured grants to fund key programs and provide emergency financial relief during COVID-19

  • Wrote an engaging, data-driven marketing brochure for Washington-based Everett Housing Authority

  • Developed a strategic communications plan for Everyone Home DC, a D.C.-based homelessness nonprofit, and drafted its social media and newsletter copy

  • Fundraised over $1,500 for Holler Health Justice and over $2,600 for Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Sibley Memorial, Suburban and Howard County General Hospitals through peer-to-peer campaigns

Some of my current projects within the nonprofit sector include:

  • Write SEO-driven thought leadership pieces, customer success stories, emails, and other assets for nonprofit-focused software companies, including Classy, Instil, Wild Apricot, and MemberClicks

  • Write stewardship materials for major donors for Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford

  • Edit guest submissions to the Great Smoky Mountains Association’s Smokies LIVE blog to keep members engaged

  • Edit reports and workplans for nonprofit international aid organizations, including ACDI/VOCA, Tanager, and ADRA International

Below, you can find some clips to my nonprofit thought leadership blogs. Many of my other work samples for clients are not publicly available, so please reach out with your needs and I’ll be happy to supply additional client-approved clips! The nonprofit sector is near and dear to me, and I’d love to collaborate together.
