The quiet work of
raising a million dollars
A profile of Angelic Conn, nonprofit development & events leader
Seven years ago, Angelic Conn started coordinating volunteers for a single fundraising walk. Today she directs an area portfolio for a national foundation — recruiting boards, negotiating sponsor contracts, and building the dashboards that keep every dollar accountable.
Across four national nonprofits, her throughline is the same: generosity is a system, and systems can be designed.
“Fundraising isn’t asking for money. It’s giving people a way to matter.”
About · continued
I've spent the last seven-plus years helping nonprofits turn generosity into real, measurable impact. My work lives where fundraising operations, project management, and stakeholder engagement meet — leading cross-functional teams, managing vendors and contracts, and building the data reports and dashboards that keep multimillion-dollar initiatives on track.
I care about the quiet infrastructure that makes good work possible: streamlining processes, writing clear SOPs, and letting data guide the decisions. And I love the human side of it most — recruiting and training volunteers, stewarding donors, and building community relationships that last.
