About

Sonya Caruso M.A., CFRM

I am a strategic fundraising consultant with over 20 years of non-profit experience. I partner with nonprofits for transformational change. I am highly experienced and knowledgeable across sectors and disciplines. I have a full range of non-profit development experience with proven results. I have helped many organizations achieve and often exceed their goals by leveraging the potential of their existing donors and partners while seeking out additional funding opportunities. I can uncover new revenue streams and develop long-lasting strategies that often exceed initial expectations.
