Who Are We?

Lynn R. Terelle, President and Founder

A native New Yorker, I also spent 15 years in Los Angeles working as a fundraiser with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art which was the position of a lifetime for a visual artist. (Most people with a degree in fine arts find themselves in the development field, and I was no exception.) Upon my return to NYC following the terrifying Northridge Earthquake of 1994, I spent more than a decade as a fundraising consultant working with cultural nonprofits nationwide, living the "jet-setter" life and juggling up to 15 clients at a time. Ultimately, following the horror of 9/11, I relocated to the Berkshires in Massachusetts, where I currently reside.

No longer wanting to travel 5 days a week, I began working as an independent contractor with Network For Good as a virtual fundraising coach while also maintaining my own consulting firm. As NFG transitions more to a database platform, I have struck out on my own to offer my services as a virtual fundraising consultant at a price every nonprofit can afford regardless of size or years of practice.

Laura J. Graham, Ph.D., Editor, Writer and Advisor

While Laura is super camera-shy, she is nonetheless a highly credentialed professional with a Master’s Degree in English and Ph.D. in Theatre History/Critical Studies. She is my exacting editor, a talented writer and well-versed in fundraising practices and policies. She offers sage advice and brings enthusiasm and expertise to the firm.
