Raising the Conversation

Speaking

I speak at conferences and events on philanthropy and fundraising.

I speak to nonprofit boards and development teams, venture communities, and women in capital gatherings. Formats range from keynotes and fireside chats to panels and workshops.

If you are putting together a program and want a candid conversation about raising money, or about why philanthropy is so impactful, I would love to hear about it.
