Elevating social impact together
I work with CEOs and senior leaders as a strategic advisor on philanthropy and fundraising — helping turn strategy into action and drive lasting impact.
Fundraising & Philanthropic Strategy — Advise leadership teams on campaign strategy, donor engagement, and moving capital to impact.
CSR and ESG — Provide leadership to companies and corporate executives to effectively build and implement your corporate social responsibility strategy.
Foundations and Donor Advised Funds — Guide families and organizations through the decision between a donor-advised fund and a private foundation, and how to structure it for impact.

What I Do
Whether you're building a fundraising strategy from scratch or refining an established philanthropic program, I work alongside you as a hands-on advisor — not just a consultant handing off a deck.
Strategic counsel for leadership — I partner directly with CEOs and executive teams to set fundraising and philanthropic direction, not just execute on it.
Campaign and capital strategy — From donor cultivation to major gift strategy, I help you move more capital to impact.
Structure and implementation — I help you choose and build the right vehicle — donor-advised fund, foundation, or CSR program — and put it into practice.
How I Can Help
Values
Lead with kindness
I believe kindness is a primary driver of connection and humanity. Kindness is imperative to advancing a more just, equitable, and peaceful world.
Act authentically
Be true to ourselves and value everyone’s unique vision. Acting authentically is critical to building trust.
Grow the goodness
I am driven by helping others — and lifting that good across communities.
Listen intently
I am a listener first. I want to hear your stories, understand your challenges, and support your initiatives. Listening helps us build relationships and develop the best approach to achieve social impact together.
Be in community
I work together in the community toward impact. And my secret sauce is leading with kindness, listening intently, growing goodness, acting authentically, and being in the community.
“Susanne and Stacey joined our work at a pivotal moment for our organization. Their professionalism, candor, broad thinking and organizational prowess were priceless as we set forth in new form as a non-profit. Bringing them on for 6 months was an absolute game changer for our work and set us in a new and exciting direction fueled by intentional planning and structure. Best investment our organization made in its 16 years.”
