COMMUNICATIONS + STRATEGY

ep_headshot_jpeg_hq.jpg

Perkins Philanthropic creates communications and experiences that overcome barriers to understanding and bring together like-minded people to do good in the world. 

With 15+ years of diverse international experience, much of it based out of New York, I have worked with some of the country’s most respected and innovative organizations.  My projects have helped raise more than $100,000,000 in gifts and pledges.  My background includes building relationships with and writing for eight-figure institutional and individual donors; crafting philanthropic learning journeys to places like India, West Africa, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo; facilitating planning and strategy workshops for corporate and non-profit clients; and project-managing diverse teams in a range of contexts, with a focus on centering the voices of people who have historically been pushed to the margins.

I have written for and worked with groups such as:

  • American Civil Liberties Union

  • International Rescue Committee

  • Earthjustice

  • Deborah Berke Partners

  • Democracy Alliance

  • Fair Representation in Redistricting

  • Japan Society

  • National Domestic Workers Alliance

  • New York Civil Liberties Union

  • NoVo Foundation

  • VOICE

  • Center for Employment Opportunities

  • Open Square

  • A wide range of individual philanthropists
