About Barbara
Barbara’s Passion:
Fueling Big Ideas with Smart Strategy
Let’s move your mission forward—together.
You’re here because you’re building something that matters. I’m here to make sure you have the clarity, funding, and momentum to bring it to life.
With over 30 years of experience in philanthropy, public policy, and nonprofit leadership, I’ve helped mission-driven leaders like you turn bold ideas into real-world results. Whether you’re just getting started or scaling your next big initiative, we’ll work side by side to craft the strategy, messaging, and funding pathways to make it happen.
Together, we can:
✔️ Secure the funding your work deserves
✔️ Build credibility with funders, partners, and communities
✔️ Translate complex ideas into stories that move people and resources
✔️ Design smart strategies that spark long-term, measurable impact
I’ve worked inside some of the most influential organizations in the country—from the Seattle Police Department to the global think tank RAND Corporation, to The California Endowment, one of the top 20 private foundations in the U.S. I’ve seen how decisions get made and what truly drives change. Today, I bring those insider strategies to the visionaries, grassroots leaders, and high-potential upstarts ready to grow their reach and deepen their impact.
From newsletters and grant proposals to full-scale growth strategies, we’ll go beyond surface-level fixes. We’ll find the right audience, craft the right message, and position your work for long-term success. Together, we’ll turn your mission into momentum—and your ideas into lasting change.
Because it’s not just about your work. It’s about all of our futures.
