Robin Cabral
Fundraising Specialist
Robin had the great idea to use the catchy phrase 'close the gap' and developed a plan for the mini-campaign which positioned us to raise almost as many gifts in the past 2 months than we received throughout the entirety of the rest of the capital campaign and $1 million more!

Our arrangement with Robin is going extremely well. Our fundraising team are walking around with their eyes wide after several sessions with her. She is a true pro with a wealth of knowledge and an engaging approach which is not readily found in the Australian fund raising environment. She is just what we needed.

In only 7 months, has managed to not only get our very uneducated board on a more professional track but also increased our revenue 200%! She is ORGANIZED. She explains her plans clearly. She writes beautifully. Without her we would not be even considering such a big project!
