For Purpose & NFP Organisations
Strategic support for purpose-led organisations across Australia and New Zealand
How I support for purpose and nFP organisations
I work with purpose-led and not-for-profit organisations across Australia and New Zealand, supporting leaders to build clarity, confidence, and capability around fundraising, philanthropy, and long-term sustainability.
My clients range from small, grassroots organisations through to large, complex institutions, including government and publicly funded entities. I have worked across diverse sectors, including the arts, health, education, social services, and community-based organisations.
Regardless of size or structure, the work is tailored, practical, and proportionate to each organisation's context.
How I work with Organisations
Acting as an independent strategic partner to Boards, CEOs and leadership teams

How I Work
I am independent, discreet and non-commercial. I do not sell financial products, manage funds or receive commissions or referral fees.
I work in a way that is proportionate to the decision at hand. Some engagements are a single strategic session; others involve a series of conversations over time. The focus is always on clarity, confidence and practical outcomes.
I'd welcome a confidential conversation to understand your situation and explore how I might be of assistance.
