Bonnie Osinski
Fundraising planning, management and strategies for all aspects of fund development, with an emphasis on long term financial stability. Experience with small and large; local, national, and international organizations.
My mission is to provide fund raising solutions that will strengthen your organization to become sustainable over the long run. It’s not what I can do for you; it’s what you will be able to do as a result of our work together. It starts with you: time tested fundraising strategies and techniques must be adapted to meet your mission, culture, and resources.
I have more than 30 years of experience as a board member, chief development officer, teacher, consultant, and coach with local, national, and international organizations.
Recent clients include: Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens - St. Mary’s School - Dress for Success International Conference - Baruch Nonprofit Management Institute - African Population and Health Research Council, (Nairobi) - Multifaith Alliance for Syrian Refugees - Global Language Project - Front Line Defenders, (Dublin) - Lutheran Social Services – The Sato Project - Older Adults Technology Services.
About you:
- You are hiring your first professional development director.
- You are building a development department.
- You need to diversify your sources of revenue e.g. most of your funds come from government or private funds.
- You need to increase individual donors; you need to cultivate major donors.
- You need to increase foundation and corporate gifts
- You need someone who has fundraising skills and experience you can’t afford.
- You need stronger fundraising support from your board – they can do a lot more than just give or get.
- You need someone to serve as an interim development director while you are searching for a permanent chief development officer.
- You are an executive director who needs to learn more about fundraising and how to build a supportive fundraising culture.
- There is a lot of turnover among your fundraising staff (it’s not inevitable).
- You are a consultant who needs to add a fundraising component to a project.
I work mostly on a retainer basis; but I can work on specific projects and provide a low-cost coaching option.
