Hello

As a former Chief Development Officer, I have experienced the same challenges you might be facing each day with multiple priorities and demands on valuable time. It is extremely easy and sometimes inevitable for Individual donor stewardship to drop in priority. PB Nonprofit Resource is your work smarter solution!

According to the most recent Giving USA 2025 report, Individual giving accounted for 66% of all U.S. charitable donations in 2024, making it the largest source of philanthropic support. In comparison, foundations contributed 19%, bequests 8%, and corporations 7%. What is your Individual giving percentage?

Let’s connect! I would welcome the opportunity to meet and talk about your nonprofit Development support needs. I look forward to learning more about your organization!

As a Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE), I bring a commitment to the highest standard of ethics, accountability, transparency, trust, and excellence. As a Kansas City native, I bring more than 40 years of executive support and leadership experience across nonprofits and organizations of all sizes and missions. I have had the privilege of leading and directing fundraising while on staff at the following premiere nonprofit organizations. This is not a promotion or endorsement, but rather a summary of a few past employers where my experience in Development and leadership has grown.
