Sarah is responsible for The Village’s fundraising initiatives, including the annual appeal, major gifts, planned giving, and special events, with a special emphasis on donor cultivation and stewardship.

“I share an affinity with those who have loved ones touched by mental illness,” says Sarah. “It gives me great joy to be able to spread the news about all that we have accomplished as an agency and share our great plans for The Village’s future.”

Sarah has been involved with development for over 30 years. Her passion for the field began during her career in radio, where she was able to work with and help raise money for several local nonprofits. Inspired by her newfound passion, Sarah made the shift to working with a local nonprofit health agency and then spent 18 years in educational fundraising, most recently as Director of Advancement at East Catholic High School.
