Let's Move Your Agenda Forward
Hello, I'm Valerie Gotcher
I'm a responsible, curious learner with a 10-year track record in the nonprofit sector as a Founder & Executive Director. In that role, I built a solid base of individual donors, secured multi-year government funding, fee-for-service contracts, and won competitive grant awards from 3 of the largest foundations in Texas within 5 years of operation.
I was responsible for recruiting and retaining an outstanding team, and I also served as the President of the Board for a national membership organization. I successfully completed the CNM Dallas Nonprofit Management Certificate Program.
Today I help nonprofits scale up by developing strategic plans and advancing fundraising through a lens of lived experience. Book a kickstart session today, free of charge, and let's get to know each other.
