We have all attended some fundraising event for charity before in our past.  But have you ever really stopped to think about what those fundraising events were able to accomplish?  Here is a little bit about the good causes behind fundraising. Currently the Director of Development & Organizational Advancement at Cornerstone Montgomery, Heidi is a career development professional who brings an extensive network of contacts and wealth of knowledge about fundraising, non-profits, and board engagement. Previously at the National Center for Children and Families (NCCF), Heidi led a successful $7.2 million capital campaign, grew the donor database by an average of 30% a year for over 5 years. Charities LIKE NCCF thrive under Ms. Webb’s leadership advice and coaching, which ultimately results in strong, effective, and collaborative development departments. In addition to her work, Ms. Webb volunteers extensively. She is a Rotarian, and has served on benefit committees for multi-million dollar fundraising events for American Cancer Society, Duke Ellington School for the Arts, and the Larry King Cardiac Foundation. Heidi served as Campaign Chair for a State Legislator. In that role she authored and signed into law, a teen suicide prevention bill for the State of Maryland in 2005.
