I connect non-profits to generous philanthropists
and corporate partners seeking meaningful collaboration.
I have vast experience working in corporate outreach, structuring the most effective approach of engaging new corporate partnerships.
I also have worked with local and national government officials and political causes related to medical research and the performing arts

The Thank You Party served the single purpose of paying gratitude to the hospital’s generous campaign donors. When departing the event, 300 attendees each received hand-written “thank you notes” from the medical researcher, clinical physician, or grateful patient who benefited directly from the donor’s generous contribution.
I also host my own events for the public
I utilize my free time to promote community gatherings that bring human souls together. I’ve hosted educational lectures, art exhibits, musical performances, group meditations, and job fairs for youth interested in innovative careers. Whenever possible, I promote indigenous cultural wisdom & contemplative practices.
In my career, I serve as a vessel that cultivates compassion. By building community relationships, I build better communities. I’m passionate about my work and am personally committed to eradicating pain, sadness, injustice, disease, grief and loneliness in my lifetime.

How I Help Small Non-Profits
with fundraising goals of $5,000 - $100,000/yr
Typically, I begin by evaluating current administrative operations, donor programs, and past engagement tactics. I determine what mandatory development functions are missing. Then, I figure out the best way to educate staff on new, more efficient processes for immediate success and long-term growth.
I spend a lot of time analyzing data as it’s key to how I strategize event programing throughout the year. I’ll assess current data operations, analyze donor styles, legacy giving, explore untapped connections, and present industry trends.
The world of Philanthropy is complex and it’s worrisome how many non-profit organizations unknowingly lack the Development daily and weekly protocols that are necessary for success. I’m one of the most experienced philanthropic consultants you will meet because of my diverse experience. I love helping tiny clients and large clients alike. No job is too challenging because I have experienced it ALL.
How I Help Large Non-Profits
with fundraising goals $100,000 - $100 million/yr
Large non-profits should already have the mandatory “Development” systems and staff roles clearly outlined because they can afford to hire the experienced Development staff and buy Data Management software systems. If these systems are stable, I help large clients with everything from conceptualizing complex fundraising galas to researching corporate sponsors aligned with mission of institution.
Committee Work
I’m stellar at designing and leading committees. They are important tools to build donor trust and initiate fun & friendship.
VIP Special touch
I have experience planning extensive luxury travel, catering, arts, leisure, and entertainment for Major Gift Stewardship international trips.
Mind Beyond Brain presented captivating academic research from the University of Virginia team of Neuroscientists and their 50 years of research supporting evidence that consciousness survives physical death. Entertainer, John Cleese is an advocate of this research team and Advisory Board member. Click HERE for more information about their research at UVA!

At Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center’s annual donor event, John spoke to 250 guests about the “implications of national health care reform for Massachusetts teaching hospitals, physicians, community health centers, and patients.” (photographed with Erin Wholey, one of Kirsten’s influential mentors)
Secular Funerals
I also plan “Celebration of Life Memorial services” for people seeking non-religious memorial services. I offer these services to grieving family so they may focus entirely on celebrating their loved one as they transcend to the next plane of consciousness.
These secular funerals are peaceful, filled with positive moments and poetry. I love hiring musicians for these outdoor celebrations and have creative ideas to personalize the day. All funerals are set in lush and bucolic settings and I assist the family by overseeing every single detail before, during, and immediately after the ceremony. Families do not have to “lift a finger” for these funerals and I love helping these clients.
