About Cathy Mann | President
26 years in fundraising, thousands of students and millions of dollars raised for my clients later…
and I have a thing or two to share about the inner workings of running a successful fundraising program.
Whether it's through our customized consulting or online resources, I’ll share secrets from over 25 years of fundraising to help support and guide you in raising more money through this unprecedented time.
I now have a plan that I’m eager to work from.
Meeting with Cathy about the development of the fundraising plan was part fundraising lesson, part therapy session. So much of fundraising is about how to engage people. And frankly, I needed help to overcome my own fears or challenges that stemmed from being new in the role. Having someone with Cathy’s calm and reassuring words helped me confirm that I was heading in the right direction. And I loved hearing Cathy tell stories about her experiences – both good and bad.
