Welcome to West Wind Consulting Strategies in Fund Raising LLC.
Our founder Kathy Cole grew up on a farm in the Finger Lakes, aware that a change in weather came from a West Wind. She launched the firm in 2002 to provide fundraising advice and counsel to a select group of clients throughout the United States who were ready for change. She saw campaigns as opportunities, not only to reach financial goals, but to strengthen overall fundraising capacity and the organization as a whole.
We know our approach is unique. But so is your organization.
If you want to work with consultants who listen attentively, care deeply, and think strategically about your organization’s success today and in the long term, explore our site or be in touch.
