Wild FundraisingDevelopment Associate
Jan. 2023 - Jul. 2025As a Development Associate with Wild Fundraising, I led multifaceted fundraising and grant development initiatives for a diverse portfolio of nonprofit clients across the U.S. My work spanned strategic prospecting, grant writing, reporting, and donor stewardship—supporting organizations in health equity, youth development, arts and culture, and education. I collaborated directly with executive leadership and program teams to craft compelling proposals, manage grant pipelines, and implement systems for tracking outcomes and deadlines. I also played a critical role in sponsorship outreach and event fundraising, including managing donor communications, creating pitch decks, and coordinating timelines for galas, races, and community events. Additionally, I provided operational support, including data entry and CRM management (Bloomerang, Submittable, monday.com), ensuring accuracy and efficiency in all development processes. My work consistently centered on equity, clarity, and impact—helping clients meet revenue goals and deepen community engagement.
