“We brought Natalie into our organization during a time of high turnover and organizational turbulence within our fundraising group.  She was tasked to partner with our core development staff,  review and refine our existing processes and liaise with the executive leadership group and key Board members to reimagine the role of our fundraising arm.  Natalie’s methodical and intentional leadership helped to adjust and ensure our development group now has stable fundraising systems, an appropriate staffing/organizational mix and work habits which will continue sustain and grow our donor base.  As the financial leader of the organization, I fully appreciated Natalie’s transparency with health of fundraising throughout her tenure as well as the financial acumen that she brought to the development department.  Her ability to help in driving home the importance of strong, predictable fundraising was incredible.  Natalie is an outstanding business partner and I would strongly recommend her expertise and partnership.”
