Nonprofit Experience
Centre Gives
On June 27 & 28, 2012, the Centre Foundation held an exciting online giving event called Centre Gives, which raised more than $415,000 for 74 nonprofit organizations that serve Centre County - in just 36 hours! Those funds were supplemented by more than $110,000 in matching funds and prize money from the foundation.
I worked behind the scenes to get this project off the ground, and I was also the face of the project to donors and participating nonprofit organizations, holding workshops, helping organizations create online profiles, promoting the event via newspapers, magazines and radio and answering questions as they came in during the event.
A sample of praise from participating Centre Gives organizations:
"Overall, I think the foundation (and Erin) did a great job. You made donating fun for many people. Congratulations!"
"Erin was very helpful in sending out reminders and helping me get our GuideStar account up-to-date."
"Absolutely fabulous organization and promotion by the Centre Foundation. Hats off to Erin!"

Photo Shoots

At Living Beyond Breast, one of our most important goals is to make people affected by breast cancer feel that they're part of a caring, inclusive community. So representing the diversity of people who experience the disease - people of all different ages, races, religions, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations and gender identities - is very important to us. One way we do that is through the images we use in our publications and on our website. LBBC holds photo shoots every year or two to enlarge our photo library and make sure we're doing our best to represent ALL of our constituents. In 2015 and 2016 I managed those photo shoots. I recruited participants and communicated with them throughout the process, scouted locations, worked with our photographers and makeup artists, and managed each shoot on the day-of. |

30th Anniversary Insert in Town & Gown
To celebrate the Centre Foundation's 30th anniversary, we created a 56-page commemorative insert in Town & Gown magazine. I researched and wrote all of the stories in the insert and worked one-on-one with the publisher throughout the design and printing process.
