Why work alone when you can partner with smart and skilled great friends?
Here’s a short list of some of my favorite people to work with on projects:
Maria Harlow – Fundraising and Family Foundations
Maria is a relationship focused individual who loves to connect people with shared values. She knows the power of community and what can be accomplished together. With a community that works together thrives together attitude, she enjoys working with non-profits at any point in their fundraising journey. From setting up your development function, fundraising event, creating a development plan and strategy complete with policies, procedures, prospecting, cultivation, and stewardship. She also loves to build community support and partnerships with non-profit organizations, corporate, private foundations, and individuals. She has raised funds, served as a grants & program manager for a family foundation and in community relations and corporate giving. Link to more info.
