Jared Hughes’s Summary

With more than 20 successful years as an innovative fundraiser — first as a self-motivated and organized volunteer and within the last seven, as a visionary and problem-solving professional — I posses the proven ability to connect people and their passions in support of challenging fundraising goals. I have raised more than $6.3 million to date representing hundreds of closed deals and thousands of donors who began or increased their giving. I am eager to use my journalism and marketing background to land my first million-dollar gift and look forward to helping my clients do the same.
