Rooted Giving was founded on the belief that generosity flourishes when relationships are nurtured with care and trust. At the heart of Rooted Giving is Pamela Hawkes, a consultant dedicated to walking alongside mission-driven organizations as they grow, adapt, and inspire.

With over twenty years of experience in fundraising, philanthropy strategy, and organizational leadership, Pamela brings both expertise and empathy to the table. Her work has spanned capital campaigns, board development, major gifts, change management, and volunteer development — but what she values most are the authentic connections built along the way.

Pamela believes lasting impact is created not through quick wins, but through intentional relationships, steady guidance, and a deep commitment to an organization’s mission. That’s what Rooted Giving is all about: helping organizations not just raise funds or manage change, but build cultures of trust, generosity, and shared purpose.

Rooted Giving isn’t just a consultancy — it’s a partnership. Pamela walks with leaders as they lead boldly, grow sustainably, and cultivate generosity that truly takes root.
