Barb has been an important member of our team almost since the day we launched Due East. Barb is not only one of the best major gift fundraising strategists we know but she is the model of a nonprofit professional who fully understands and leverages the art and science of fundraising. Barb helps organizations of all shapes and sizes build meaningful relationships with their donors and enhance the nuts and bolts of their development functions. She understands that fundraising is just one aspect of an organization’s overall strategic growth and helps leaders identify and effectively capitalize on their organization’s strengths to expand their reach and impact. Barb does all of this by truly investing in every nonprofit leader with whom she works. Her heart is in every project and every interaction.
