About Stacy
I’m here to help you build capacity for your organization from the inside. I assist nonprofits and philanthropic groups that are focused on the arts, education, housing, human services, public spaces, and beyond to increase their impact. I work with newly established organizations and those who have been around for decades.
As a consultant, I deliver value beyond simply creating a plan. I help organizations put plans into action. My work is grounded in practical support, thoughtful leadership, and a commitment to getting things done so that organizations can achieve lasting results for their communities
Why Organizations Choose to Work with Me
I’m here to support your organization and the people on your team.
I work alongside nonprofits to turn complex fundraising and grant processes into clear, actionable steps — so you can confidently implement new strategies and secure the funding you need.
I’ve been in your shoes, and understand this work from the inside.
I've been an executive director, a development director, a campaign leader, and even a board member. That means I understand what it takes to do the work – board dynamics, staff capacity challenges, and the pressure to get it all done, which is often much more than just raising funds.
I build things that last.
Every template, timeline, and plan I create is designed to be used by your team long after our engagement ends. The goal is your independence, not my continued involvement.

Most engagements draw on more than one of these key service areas — the starting point is figuring out what you genuinely need.
Organizational Assessment
Gain clarity on what your organization is truly ready to achieve.
Grant Strategy
Find the right opportunities, focus your efforts, and create a plan to successfully secure competitive grants.

What People Say
Selected Projects
Garfield Super Block
As the fundraising consultant for this $2M capital campaign, I helped raise philanthropic dollars for a long overdue community-driven vision for the Central District. The project celebrates the neighborhood's rich heritage by featuring original public art from 16 diverse local artists, creating a cultural landmark designed by and for the community it serves.
Center for Architecture & Design
As the Executive Director of Seattle Architecture Foundation, I co-led a groundbreaking $2.5M campaign to establish Seattle's first Design Center. The campaign united three organizations — SAF, AIA Seattle, and Design in Public — along with volunteers, board members, and pro-bono architects to create a permanent home for Seattle's design community.
Washington Middle School PTSA
I partnered with the PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) to develop a sustainable fundraising strategy and strengthen organizational capacity. Through a comprehensive assessment and stakeholder engagement with staff, board members and families, I helped the organization begin diversifying its funding base and build a foundation for long-term success.
