With an 18+ year career in the philanthropic world, I am using experiences gained from leadership roles within community foundations and private foundations to work one-on-one with organizations and funders that are looking to move beyond the tried and true.

My passion is building the capacity of nonprofit organizations and the field itself through reimagining services and incorporating ideas with knowledge learned locally and beyond. Accomplishing this work requires conversation and collaboration.

I believe in the power of collaboration and in the power of change.

Laura has taught Essential Skills and Strategies for New Grantmakers and is a 21/64 Certified Advisor trained on working with multi-generational families.
