Mission & History

My mission is to help organizations, communities, donors and volunteers attain their fundraising, digital communications and public relations goals in the most efficient, thoughtful, high-quality manner possible. I am an independent nonprofit fundraising and communications expert with extensive experience working across Texas (and beyond).

Carolyn’s Nonprofit Blog was launched in 2011. Based on personal interests and experiences, it shares my work in the “trenches” of nonprofit organizations small and large. Both the wonderful and the challenging moments are shared. These discussions are meant to help readers learn how I achieved success in fundraising and communications, and also to share that while occasional missteps happen naturally in life, one can recuperate and thrive once you deal with and move past them. Never say never!
