Coaching CEOs and Development Professionals
I’ve coached several nonprofit CEOs and Development Directors in their ongoing efforts to raise annual and capital dollars, with a primary focus on major gifts. Through personalized coaching, I help leaders strengthen their approach to fundraising, build authentic donor relationships, and gain the confidence and skills to drive results. Together, we focus on strategies that inspire action, deepen engagement, and advance your organization’s mission.

Program and Capital Campaign Strategy
Launching a successful campaign starts with clarity and alignment. I work closely with boards and leadership teams to identify challenges, streamline decisions, and build a united path forward. Whether developing a compelling Case for Support, conducting a feasibility study, or strategizing for a multi-million-dollar campaign, I bring a proven approach that helps organizations achieve ambitious goals.
I’ve helped one mid-sized nonprofit create and execute a $11 million capital campaign over two years. For a smaller nonprofit, I guided them in raising $2.5 million from just a few donors—transforming their operating-only fundraising into a new program launch. These successes reflect my commitment to driving real results for organizations.

Individual Major Donor Strategy
Major donors appreciate your respect and gratitude. Be sure you’re asking the right person, at the right time, for the right amount. Don’t rush the ask, and on the flip side, don’t be afraid to ask. Developing those nuanced strategies is where I can offer the most help and support.
Major donors give when they feel valued and heard. I help craft thoughtful, tailored strategies for cultivating and soliciting key supporters. From identifying the right prospects to designing a respectful and compelling ask, I bring a unique approach that builds trust and drives results. My focus is always on fostering lasting relationships and advancing your mission.
Meet Johanna: 25+ Years of Development Expertise
With over 25 years’ experience leading teams and being responsible for successful capital campaigns, annual funds, events, major and planned gifts, I can visualize an overarching goal and see how the individual elements work together to meet it. My strategic approach is goal-focused and donor-centric, with the confidence that both can be achieved.
Leadership positions with the Catlin Gable School, Reed College, Mercy Corps and most recently the Oregon Community Foundation helped me appreciate the importance of leadership, board engagement and donor investment.
Nonprofits with compelling missions and committed boards are where I can add the most value, regardless of size or mission.
