"Hi, I’m Christina (she/her). I work with charities, CICs and community orgs to make your work easier to manage and fund. I've been working in the nonprofit sector since Linkin Park were topping the charts. I have run and successfully fundraised for many organisations and have trained 1500+ people in fundraising and organisation set up. Most of the organisations I love to work with are run by one person, accomplishing amazing things through sheer determination to change the world. I offer online training and resources that are designed for small organisations and focus on jargon-busting and demystifying. There’s more about me here." |
