Julie | Major Giving Consulting - Sustainable and Equitable Donor Relationships

I help find your most loyal top donors and develop ideas to get them more involved and appreciated!

You are a fundraising leader and want to

- be the top of mind non-profit of your donors,

- activate existing donors with engagement strategies instead of costly acquiring new supporters and

- then turn all these supporters into enthusiastic donors and ambassadors for your non-profit?

And preferably get more donations in less time?

I can help you with that!

My goal is to turn your donors into life-long sustainers for your organization - the right donors, who love your mission and want to tell the world about you.

I prefer to work with non-profit leaders who love their job and change the world with their values-driven work.

Let's make the world a little more just, humane, and beautiful through fundraising!

From university educator to major gifts coach for non-profit leaders

I'm Julie and I began learning the art and science of major gifts in 2014.

I've been working as a educator and mentor since 2007 and help non-profit leaders to achieve their goals and have a little more of everything:

More donations, more time, more appreciation and self-confidence, more joy and ease in everyday life, more inspiration and support.

I show you in simple and clear language,

how major gifts work and

you can use it to increase your donations

in order to do less acquisition

for long-term, sustainable impact

Work with me

Let's get started!

Your donors are often not addressed personally or consistently due to a lack of time and resources.

Your donors are attracted to your kind, appreciative communication and feel understood, which motivates them to donate more.

You find it difficult to address your donors in a tailored way and to retain them.

You understand the needs of your donors and know how to respond to them.

Ihr tut euch schwer, eure Spender:innen maßgeschneidert anzusprechen und langfristig an eure Organisation zu binden.

Ihr kennt die Bedürfnisse eurer Spender:innen und wisst, wie ihr auf sie eingehen könnt, ohne euch zu verstellen.

In 5 steps more clarity, ease and impact

Unlike other consultants, I’ve been a frontline major gift officer. Both in the U.S. and in Europe. I have invested extensively learning through books, a research-based fundraising diploma, and trainings. Guided by my research basis, intuition and an ADHD diagnosis, I developed a unique approach focused on analyzing donor giving patterns rather than chasing wealthy donors.
