I bring engaged donors and visionary nonprofits together to transform institutions and the communities they serve.

Kate Sheehan


I apply the successful strategies and best practices I’ve learned at some of Chicago’s most iconic institutions to organizations of any size or budget.

My expertise includes:

  • Campaigns: identifying leadership donors, developing bespoke solicitation strategies, articulating gift opportunities, and creating collateral.

  • Major and Principal Gifts fundraising: maximizing the giving potential of your donor base and building your pipeline.

  • Grant writing: compelling propositions for transformational gifts.

  • Board Development: building a Board that brings a diversity of expertise, influence, capacity and viewpoints.

  • Coaching: preparing your front-line officers for success.
