I’d like to reintroduce myself

I’d like to reintroduce myself. 🌱

Hi, I’m Pamela.

I’m the founder of Rooted Giving, a nonprofit fundraising consulting practice built around something I’ve believed for a very long time...

Fundraising is about relationships.

I’ve spent more than 20 years working in the nonprofit sector, sitting on both sides of the table, leading development teams, building donor relationships, supporting boards, working on capital campaigns, and helping organizations figure out how to turn their big goals into thoughtful fundraising strategies.

And after all those years, I still love this work.

I love a good fundraising plan.

I love helping a board see themselves as philanthropists.

I love the moment when a nonprofit leader goes from "I have no idea how we're going to do this" to "Okay, we CAN do this."

I love sitting across the table from a donor and hearing their story.

And I really love being the person in the corner cheering nonprofit leaders on.

That's what Rooted Giving has become.

A place where I can bring all of those years of experience to organizations that are doing important work, and help them build stronger relationships, stronger strategies, and stronger philanthropic communities around their missions.

I'm also a mom, a coffee lover, a watercolor painter, a sometimes overthinker, a big believer in handwritten notes, and someone who is learning to leave a little more room for life along the way.

Nine months into this adventure, I'm still figuring some things out, but I know this.

I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.
