Rooted Giving partners with nonprofit organizations to develop fundraising strategies that strengthen donor relationships, build organizational capacity, and create sustainable philanthropic growth. Founded on the belief that generosity flourishes when relationships are nurtured with care and trust, Rooted Giving walks alongside mission driven organizations as they grow, adapt, and inspire.

At the heart of Rooted Giving is Pamela Hawkes, a fundraising strategist and nonprofit consultant with more than twenty years of experience helping organizations strengthen their fundraising programs and achieve lasting impact. Her work has spanned fundraising strategy, capital campaigns, board development, major gifts, volunteer engagement, change management, and organizational leadership. While each organization is unique, Pamela's approach remains the same: listen first, build relationships, and create practical strategies that empower leaders to move forward with confidence.

Throughout her career, Pamela discovered that her greatest passion isn't simply helping organizations fundraise. It's helping them create fundraising strategies that generate sustainable revenue, deepen donor relationships, and position their missions for long-term growth. She believes that the strongest fundraising programs are built with intention, grounded in authentic relationships, aligned with an organization's mission, and designed to grow alongside its vision.

At Rooted Giving, strategy and relationships go hand in hand. Every engagement is tailored to an organization's goals, capacity, and culture, whether that means developing a comprehensive fundraising plan, preparing for a capital campaign, strengthening donor stewardship, engaging a board in philanthropy, or coaching nonprofit leaders through growth and change.

Rooted Giving isn't just a consultancy; it's a strategic partner.

Pamela works alongside nonprofit leaders to build fundraising strategies that inspire generosity, strengthen organizations, and create meaningful, lasting impact for the communities they serve.
