About Samhita

I'm a mission-driven fundraising professional with over 10 years of experience in nonprofit management, development, and communications. I am passionate about supporting people and organizations who are making the world a better and more equitable place. I want to make your vision a reality!

I'm a Portland native who moved to New York to live, learn, and work for 12 years before returning to Portland to be closer to family. I continue to serve fantastic organizations in both regions.

My Work

Here are some examples of how I've supported organizations:

• I designed and implemented a $3,000,000 anniversary fundraising campaign.
• I developed a tailored segmentation plan for individuals and institutions, increasing efficiency of staff members while maintaining strong cultivation and stewardship.
• I consistently grew event revenue from an annual gala by 435% in four years through targeted sponsorship cultivation, creation of a Host Committee, and securing a media sponsor.
• I created systems to streamline income projections, grant submissions, and report deadlines.
• I led the Development portion of a four-year strategic plan, including a detailed plan and recommendations for achieving a greater level of sustainability and financial health.
