Online Education Presenter: Beth Raps

RAISING CLARITY's Founder Beth Raps began fundraising in her 20s, training in face-to-face asking with two of the best in the field—Kim Klein and Andrea Ayvazian, as well as learning event planning, annual planning, and mass appeals. Her learning was also in the field--she put these skills to work immediately as just one of three staff in a statewide organization, and then used them to create a statewide grantmaking foundation when she was just 26. Moving to Washington, DC led Beth from grantwriting for national organizations to development consulting with a focus on major donor gifts and face-to-face asking. Certified by the Money Coaching Institute as a money coach to help both individuals and nonprofits heal their relationship with money, Beth founded RAISING CLARITY in 2012 to integrate relationship-driven, annual-plan and campaign fundraising with the art of face-to-face asking and the healing power of money coaching. She leads with empathy, humor, and joy in her trainings, where laughter and "Aha!" moments abound. For more about her approach: https://raisingclarity.com/consulting/
