Nervous about reaching the big target?
It’s the scary storm cloud hanging over every advancement team in education:
How will you effectively fundraise when you’re:
getting pulled into daily operations?
feeling the weight of trade-offs?
working diligently to keep your team in alignment?
As an independent fundraising consultant, I’ll give you hands-on, responsive support and solutions—customized to the specific circumstances of your institution.
You’ll be poised to impress, persuade, and achieve maximum impact—exceeding your strategic goals.
~Celine Schmidek, Vice President of Advancement, Cristo Rey San José Jesuit High School
“Our school needed to massively accelerate our fundraising. With a relatively novice team, we felt like we were racing down the highway while building the car. Katie brought her refreshing mix of positive coaching and expert guidance which helped us level up our skill set. She’s a joyful thought partner and has the mix of skills you really want in a fundraising coach and campaign counsel. Katie helps us hit it out of the ballpark every time—which means that more underserved students get to change the trajectory of their lives.”
Nice to meet you! I’m Katie Rohrer.
Founder, Anne Allan Group
Fundraising and Campaign Consultant
With 20+ years of experience as an in-house senior fundraising leader for top-tier universities across the US, I know what it takes to run a successful campaign.
I saw an opportunity to bring my “big-school” fundraising expertise to small- to mid-sized institutions that don’t always have the opportunity to hire robust fundraising and campaign teams.
I launched Anne Allan Group to meet this need. My clients are overjoyed to have my support and guidance as we maximize their impact – and implement best practices that will serve them well for decades to come.
I offer these fundraising consulting services:
Campaign Planning
Major and Principal Gifts Strategy/Fundraising
Development Assessments (Audits)
Every project is customized to your needs and may contain several services mentioned (or not mentioned) above.
~Katie Wojke, Vice President of Advancement, Western Oregon University and Executive Director, Western Oregon University Foundation
“Katie R. personalizes things and takes the time to be effective and efficient, whereas a large firm would have quotas to meet. She’s worked in leadership roles at many large, prestigious institutions and now applies that skill set to work with small- to mid-sized institutions like ours.”
