Background

Early in her career, Sarah learned about nonprofit fundraising by serving many organizations while working for a direct marketing agency in DC whose clients ranged from small local nonprofits to large international organizations, across a variety of sectors, including animal welfare, social justice, arts and culture, and conservation.

Sarah also served in several roles at World Wildlife Fund in Washington, DC, in a variety of capacities from direct response production coordinator to program manager, ultimately directing WWF’s acquisition, renewal, sweepstakes, list strategy, affinity marketing, and calendar and premium programs.

After heading north to Philadelphia with her family, Sarah worked briefly for a small direct marketing agency serving public television and radio clients. She subsequently served as an independent consultant for a large, national conservation organization, managing their acquisition program, focused specifically on list strategy, implementation, and analysis for their high-volume and very successful membership acquisition program.

Since 2011, Sarah has proudly served S&W’s diverse client base, motivated by their critical missions and the important role each organization plays in providing for the greater good.
