Overview

Beth has rejoined Schultz & Williams after leaving the Philadelphia area five years ago. She has over three decades of development experience working with nonprofits nationwide. She has worked with small, mid-size and large organizations assisting in all areas of their fundraising needs. On a number of occasions, she served as an organization’s first development professional, brought on to develop full fundraising plans including initiating major gifts programs, starting multiple special events and developing a robust corporate and foundation gifts calendar.

Prior Experience

Beth has also worked with several larger organizations on attaining targeted goals, such as growing their strategic partnerships and completing their capital campaigns. Most recently, she has worked with a national environmental organization as their director of development and marketing. For that organization, Beth was hired to re-start this nonprofit from a dormant state with almost no funds coming in and no full-time staff, to where it is today with an organizational budget of almost two-thirds of a million dollars and multiple staff members.

She has also been an independent development and communications consultant for many years. Her recent clients include the National Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Association in Seattle, WA, where she oversaw their strategic partnerships program. In that role, she worked with corporations and large funders developing programs to promote their involvement and creating funding opportunities for CASA programs across the country.

Other recent clients include a local National Public Radio station and an international teen youth development organization. Beth also formerly served as the director of development for a Boys & Girls Club in Rhode Island, where she increased corporate and foundation funds by 200%, ran three annual events and brought in high six figures from major gifts. She also ran the corporate and foundation department for a local Rhode Island zoo targeted on a major capital campaign.
