How I can help - Support and advice developing a fundraising strategy - Drafting media releases - Completion of funding applications
My experience In my role as Manager of Wellington Rape Crisis I moved the organisation from a significant deficit budget to a sustainable budget through sound financial management, highly successful fundraising campaigns and events, media savvy and building strong funder relationships and processes. I quickly became a highly respected in the Wellington NFP sector and nationally within the sexual violence and stopping violence sectors. My media work and government lobbying has been acknowledged as the impetus for the overhaul of Sexual Violence service funding. This is a huge success story for the sector which I am proud to have been part of.
In 2015 I was brought on board at Nelson Women’s and Children’s Refuge to support them through a financial crisis. I implemented robust funding and financial processes, developed a surplus budget from a significant deficit, supported the Manager with media strategy and and ran several successful fundraising events.
From 2019 I have been working with the Wilderness Canoe Trust to ensure their financial sustainability and have been successful in gaining grants from new funders worth over $50,000 per year. Other organisations I have supported with funding include Atawhai Playcentre, Victory Community Centre, SVS Living Safe Nelson and Tamariki Toa Kapa Haka group.
For this type of work my rate is $75 - $100 per hour and I can provide up front quotes to avoid any unforeseen costs.
It has been my pleasure to work with Natalie over the last year. Her attention to detail and accuracy in all of her work makes her an asset for any organisation. Through her varied skills and relationship-building Natalie has secured financial stability for our organisation when we were facing an uncertain future."Manager of NGO at which I provided fundraising and financial services, 2014-2016
