About

I'm a trusted advisor with over two decades leading non-profit initiatives across arts, education, housing, human services and public spaces. I help organizations move from inspired ideas to sustainable results, whether you're planning a capital campaign, strengthening your board, or building long-term fundraising capacity.

I have served as an executive director, development director, campaign leader and many roles in between. Now I bring that experience directly to organizations and community groups that need strategic guidance and hands-on support.

I'm also active in my Seattle community, currently serving as President of the South Lake Union Community Council where I’m involved in advocating for neighborhood priorities and fostering connection among residents and businesses.

Complex challenges simplified into actionable steps.

How I Can Help

  • I develop realistic goals, create actionable plans and coach volunteers and staff to fundraise with confidence.

    Together, we’ll craft targeted outreach strategies that identify and engage individuals, corporations and foundations with the goal of inspiring long-term giving.

  • I guide capital and annual campaigns from initial planning through launch, with clear benchmarks to engage stakeholders and achieve results.

    Every campaign has its own personality. I design customized plans that blend community-centered events with thoughtful stewardship activities to connect partners, inspire donors at all levels, and keep momentum strong through clear, actionable next steps.

  • Through an inclusive process that engages board, staff, volunteers and community, I help organizations uncover their strengths, identify opportunities, and design right-sized strategies for sustainable growth.

    This process will set you up for success if you are considering a major campaign or simply want outside perspective and new ideas for your annual fundraising efforts.

  • Fractional and interim leadership is crucial for organizations navigating transition or growth. Whether stepping in to fill a key role or offering part-time strategic support, I’ll revive your fundraising strategy and guide teams calmly through to the next milestone.

    For major projects or campaigns, short-term skilled leadership can be the key to drive your mission forward.

What People Say

  • Stacy joined the Seattle Architecture Foundation at a pivotal time and quickly brought clarity and stability to a struggling organization. I had the pleasure of working with her over 10 years, where she implemented strong systems, strengthened fundraising, and led the creation of the Center for Architecture and Design -- giving SAF and the Seattle design community a vibrant new home. Her leadership put the organization on solid ground and poised for growth.

    - Crystal Loya, Former Board President of Seattle Architecture Foundation

  • Stacy joined our team as a fundraising consultant for a capital project, helping us connect with significant donors, organizing events that were relevant to our project, and kept the big picture of our fundraising strategy in focus. Unlike other consultants we’ve worked with, Stacy required minimal onboarding and grasped the sensitivity of our community project right away. She became a true team member -- able to represent our work thoughtfully and open doors to funding opportunities we wouldn’t have been able to access on our own. On top of that, she’s incredibly organized and ensures everyone’s time is used effectively.
