“We partnered with Tammie, as a leading expert in annual fund management and strategy, to review our annual fund program and lead our team through a strategic planning process focused on growing dollars raised. She engaged the annual fund team and their key External Relations staff partners in a design-thinking process that contributed to the plan while also creating common knowledge across teams and fostering shared responsibility for meeting annual fund goals. And we had fun doing it.”

“I helped lead the recent campaign for Kleinhans Music Hall, the historic concert hall in which the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra performs, and Tammie served as our campaign consultant. She conducted an internal readiness assessment and feasibility study and communicated her findings and detailed recommendations very clearly in a written report and oral presentations to staff and board members. With her guidance, we developed a campaign plan that led us to successfully achieving our $18M goal to preserve that architectural treasure.”

“I asked for Tammie's help bringing a new AVP up to speed on annual giving strategy. This staff member had spent a career in major gifts and was about to manage the annual giving team. Tammie worked with both the AVP and the annual giving director to provide not only a comprehensive overview, but also to create shared language and realistic benchmarks. Her deep expertise provided valuable insights and enabled this supervisor and her staff to work together successfully. I fully recommend Tammie because she has seen it all, the good, bad and ugly!”

“I was grateful to work with Tammie for more than five years while I was the Associate VP, Advancement, at Skidmore College.  She provided wise counsel, helpful analysis, and was a very willing partner in our work to build our annual fund over several years.

Tammie is thorough, thoughtful, and 100% dedicated to helping organizations grow and succeed. I was particularly impressed with her ability and commitment to getting to know our team, our programs, and Skidmore as a whole.  This included familiarizing herself with our data, with the members of the Advancement staff and other campus partners she needed to engage in dialogue and discussion, and the priorities, mission, and traditions that are part of defining the college and have an important impact on our advancement work.”

“When I arrived at Farmingdale State College as the VP for Development, our annual fund was stagnant and our leadership giving efforts lacked direction. Within months Tammie helped us establish leadership buy-in, clarify our value proposition, strengthen our case for support, and implement a disciplined, data-driven strategy that energized our team and re-engaged our donors.

The impact was undeniable: we saw significant growth in annual fund participation, donor retention, donor re-activation from lapsed donors, and a marked increase in leadership-level commitments. Beyond the numbers, Tammie brought clarity, momentum, and a standard of excellence to our fundraising work. She is not just a consultant—she is a trusted partner and extension of the team who delivers results.”
