She has experience with fundraising through capital campaigns, legacy giving, endowment-building, major gifts, tax credits, and foundations. Jaime is also an online adjunct instructor teaching graduate-level courses in fundraising and resource development, leadership and ethics, and executive governance.

Jaime knows what it is like to have the responsibility for leading fundraising at a nonprofit organization and how to achieve fundraising success in varying circumstances. She is ready to go on this journey with you to help you learn the tools and build a community of peers that will help you reach your potential as a fundraising leader!
What Jaime’s former clients are saying:
“We would not have been anywhere near as successful without the coaching we received from Jaime. She was able to guide us step by step through the process, and we were able to raise funds very quickly and efficiently.”
“Jaime made the rather intimidating process of fund-raising (at least to us) into some do-able steps that we were able to carry out quite easily because she was with us in the process, walking us through it.”
“Even if you have no fund-raising experience, Jaime can help you get up to speed quickly and help you be successful, if you are willing to follow her guidance.”
