Hey there, I'm Mary Petersen...Your go-to bestie for all things fundraising related!

 

With over 20+ years of major gift expertise, I am here to guide you with actionable advice, resources, and a friendly voice when you are feeling stuck.

My fundraising career was filled with big wins and big failures. The wins were spectacular, but the failures compelled me to launch the Major Gift Momentum and the Fundraising Collective. No fundraiser should struggle to identify the right prospects, understand how the philanthropic landscape is evolving, or which tools they need to succeed.

I've sat in your chair, wondering how I'm going to meet my fundraising goals.


It wasn't so long ago that I was where you are, and I know what it feels like to want to CRUSH your goals.

Since 2013, I've helped hundreds of major gift officers and executive directors gain the skills to identify, cultivate, solicit, and steward major gifts.

Kind words

I can sing the praises of Mary Hackett for days. She leads with her heart for the work. Mary's calm amidst the storm, that sometimes is the world of development, is incredible. She has been on the front lines in several not-for-profits. She's seen and done it all. -Carol B.
