Philanthropic strategist and partnerships consultant with a proven track record of mobilizing bold, equity-driven funding strategies to address systemic inequities. With extensive experience in institutional fundraising, collaborative fund development, and donor engagement, Helen has helped mission-aligned organizations secure multi-million-dollar investments and build sustainable revenue pipelines. She has worked with leading institutions—including the CARE Fund, Harvard University Law School, Duke University, and Latino Victory—to design strategies that align funder priorities with grassroots leadership, ensuring that resources flow to the communities most impacted by inequities in care, democracy, and economic opportunity.

At the nexus of strategy, storytelling, and structure, Helen specializes in helping organizations move beyond incrementalism toward transformative systems change. She brings a critical lens to donor education, a marketing-savvy voice to movement messaging, and a policy-informed perspective to funding design. 

As a trusted advisor to foundations, nonprofits, and collaborative funds, she equips partners with the tools to expand their reach, strengthen cross-sector alliances, and drive systemic transformation. Helen believes philanthropy should serve as a catalyst—not a gatekeeper—for racial, gender, and economic justice, and she is committed to building the kind of partnerships that make this vision possible.
