FULFILLING GOALS THROUGH PHILANTHROPY

My words alone can't describe the impact Kate has had on Family Connection through National Safe Place (NSP). If there was a funding opportunity available, Kate was the first to let me know as well as offer her expertise in grant-writing and needed data and statistics to strengthen our applications. In her time at NSP, she was always an amazing friend to the over 100 agencies throughout the country ensuring we were up-to-date and had the best development resources at our fingertips. Kate is a joy to work with, always with a smile on her face and happiness in her voice!

In working with Kate I've seen her operate in a range of situations and under all kinds of working environments, from federal/governmental networking to one on one. Kate is supremely organized whether on a large scale or a small scale. She is unfailingly gracious and manages to keep her composure at all times no matter what level of stress she is operating under. While easy to work with, Kate is at all times professional, tireless and exhibits remarkable integrity with her responsibilities. She will be an asset to any organization she chooses to associate with and will work relentlessly for the betterment of any project she might undertake.

With Kate’s help, I have made the successful transition from community outreach into the exciting and challenging world of development and fundraising. She has provided me with countless creative and innovative ideas that hold true to the ethical and best practice standards in fund development. With her encouragement, I have been able to lead vital nonprofit agencies in successful fundraising despite a challenging economy. Kate's relationship building skills, expertise and knowledge in fundraising as well as her experience with a national nonprofit agency has helped many other fundraisers secure the revenue needed to provide vital programs for youth at risk. Kate has what it takes to successfully guide others to combine innovative yet tried and true fundraising principals with the relationship building needed to succeed in our changing world!
