Hey there! I’m Meg. I was born and raised in Portland, OR. When I’m not fundraising, you might find me goalkeeping on the soccer field, putting on a reading of the latest play I’ve written, or cooking up a tofu stir fry.

My 7+ year fundraising background has seen me securing five-figure gifts on Broadway (amazingly, I did manage to keep my calm in the same room as Alan Cumming), helping provide hundreds of thousands of meals for Oregonians, winning young donor engagement awards for two nonprofits’ first times, and more.

I’m in this line of work because I’m passionate about it. And, turns out (*cue the horn toot*), pretty good at it, too.

Small and mid-sized organizations often can't afford in-house senior fundraisers, while one-off consultants may struggle to leave a lasting impact (or worse, their plans gather dust on the Executive Director’s desk).

What sets me apart isn’t just expertise at a fraction of a full-time cost—I provide strategic guidance and hands-on execution, acting as a partner in implementing long-term solutions that advance your mission.

Every client is unique when it comes to co-creating and strengthening the sustainable community-centered fundraising practices that work for them.

That being said, I specialize in:

• Development planning and strategy

• Annual appeal design and implementation

• Give!Guide campaign management

• Copywriting for solicitations, acknowledgments, and other development communications

• Prospect research, wealth screening, and donor moves management plans

• CRM database setup, cleanup, training, and optimization

Our partnership will begin with a thorough assessment of where you’re at, and a strategic planning process to determine where we might go together.

CCF is a fundraising model grounded in race, equity, and social justice, founded by a group of fundraisers of color in the PNW.

In a nutshell, it’s about all of us—staff, board, community members, and more—working towards a common goal of building a better future.

This includes:

• Valuing contributions of time and lived experience in addition to money.

• Working collaboratively, not competitively, with other nonprofits.

• Engaging in difficult conversations with donors about wealth redistribution and privilege.

• Shifting from a charity or “othering” mindset to collective empowerment.
