Meet Lori
Certified Fundraising Executive
With a career spanning both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, I bring a comprehensive and practical understanding of how organizations operate and grow. I began my career in the banking industry, where I developed strong financial acumen and led efforts to improve performance in complex, underperforming environments—experience that shaped my ability to think strategically and execute effectively.
​
I have since built a nonprofit career that touches nearly every facet of organizational leadership, with experience across a range of mission areas including youth development, a community foundation, and a disease-related organization. Having served in multiple roles, I understand firsthand the challenges nonprofits face—from fundraising and operations to strategy and stakeholder engagement—and bring a well-rounded, solutions-oriented perspective to my work. I have led strategic planning efforts, built government relations and advocacy strategies from the ground up, and designed fundraising approaches that consistently drive results.
​
My work is grounded in the belief that many nonprofits lack the systems, processes, and infrastructure needed to support consistent, sustainable fundraising and long-term growth. I partner with organizations to strengthen these foundations, aligning strategy with execution to secure funding, expand impact, and ensure organizational resilience.
​
Combining financial expertise, operational insight, and a deep understanding of the nonprofit landscape, I work alongside organizations to build capacity, improve performance, and position them for lasting success. I am committed to delivering practical, high-impact solutions that create meaningful and sustainable change.
