Helping Organizations Focus On What Matters Most
Fundraising. Strategy. Organizational Development. Hands-on Support.
Hi, I'm Colleen!
I live in the heart of rural North Dakota, where community matters and doing more with less is often just part of the job.
With 25+ years of experience in fundraising, marketing, communications, leadership, and organizational development, I help nonprofits, healthcare providers, and community organizations tackle challenges, find opportunities, and turn good ideas into action.
Whether you're preparing a project for funding or moving a strategic initiative forward, I bring big-picture perspective and hands-on support. I work alongside your team to build the plan, develop the materials, and coordinate the next steps - so you can move forward without adding a full-time staff position..
Practical Support. Meaningful Impact.
Helping organizations grow stronger, work smarter, and focus on what matters most.
A practical partner for the work ahead
You know your organization and your community. I bring an outside perspective, thoughtful questions, and the experience to help you find a workable path forward.
We start by getting clear on what you want to accomplish, what’s getting in the way, and what your team can realistically take on. From there, we agree on a focused approach, clear responsibilities, and manageable next steps.
My approach is collaborative and straightforward: build on what’s already working, keep the work grounded in your organization’s needs, and leave you with something you can use—not simply another document on the shelf.
