Practical support for nonprofit teams

Small nonprofit teams balance programs, people, deadlines, and plenty of work behind the scenes.

I help organizations plan events, communicate their work, and finish projects that need focused attention. Hire me for a defined project or ongoing support built around your team’s priorities.

Where I Can Help

When your team is small, everything feels important. Priorities compete, systems grow messy, and the work keeps moving whether you’re ready or not. I can help bring clarity, structure, and momentum so things feel more manageable and intentional.

Event Planning & Production

Bring the planning, logistics, and guest experience together for your gala, community gathering, educational event, or recurring event series.

Support can include vendor coordination, registration, attendee communications, program development, run-of-show planning, signage, mission videos, and on-site coordination.

Communications & Creative

Help people understand your work and connect with your mission.

I create newsletters, website copy, program materials, presentations, graphics, event communications, and edited videos using supplied photos and footage. We can work on one deliverable or a coordinated collection of materials.

Websites, Tools & Organization

Make information easier to find, maintain, and use.

I help with website builds and updates, inquiry and registration forms, contact-list organization, CRM cleanup, and practical workflows that make follow-up and everyday tasks easier.

One Project or Ongoing Support

Focused Project Support

A website refresh, event, presentation, communications project, or system cleanup—with clear deliverables and a defined timeline.

Ongoing Support

A consistent partner for recurring events, communications, website updates, or other agreed responsibilities. We define the included work, availability, and monthly limits before beginning.

All work is quoted based on scope, timeline, and complexity.

Experience Inside Nonprofit Teams

My background includes two years as Northland Therapeutic Riding Center’s Fundraising & Communications Manager, with hands-on experience across events, communications, and the realities of a small nonprofit team.

My event work also includes logistics, entertainment coordination, children’s gift procurement, and vendor management for JReid Indeed’s 2024 holiday celebration.

About My Work With Nonprofits

I’ve spent my professional career working inside very small teams, often with three people or fewer. In those environments, everyone wears multiple hats, systems evolve out of necessity, and there isn’t much room for inefficiency.

Alongside my work with equestrian businesses and startups, I’ve spent several years supporting nonprofit operations from the inside. I’ve supported nonprofits of varying sizes across programs, events, communications, and operations, working closely with teams to keep things moving while everything else is already in motion.

I don’t come in to change how your organization works or impose a new way of doing things. I work with what’s already there, helping you strengthen it, simplify it, and make it easier to manage with the team you have.

A big part of my approach is transparency and teaching. My goal is never to make you dependent on outside support, but to leave your team more confident, capable, and clear than when we started.
