What you get with Cari:

I help passionate professional fundraisers, executives and leaders elevate their fundraising performance and provide more vital resources for their mission. Wherever you may be on your journey, everyone can benefit from an investment in themselves; an external perspective, new ideas and a nudge to achieve, even exceed your goals.

I’m a fundraising expert, stewardship maven, award winning brand storyteller and trusted strategist, advisor, and coach. I’ve led development of strategic plans and brand launches for Ford, Citicorp, and McDonalds, among others, and successfully applied my relationship-building and brand storytelling skills to personally raise over $35 million in 5, 6, and 7 figure major gifts and contribute to the generation of over $240 million more.

My programs have received the Ford Quality Award (highest internal award) and first places in national marketing competitions.  I’ve had the honor and good fortune to serve as board trustee and community leader for numerous organizations and am a graduate of the United Way of Cleveland, Mandel, and National Wexner Heritage Leadership Programs.

My role as your coach and consultant will be to help you raise more in less time. You (your team) will feel less stressed and far more confident, with a can-do attitude, must haves for today’s successful fundraisers.  You’ll enjoy personal growth while providing more vital resources to support those in need.

Together, let’s Reset, Refresh and Rev Up Your Revenues!
