NATALIE STAMER
Co-Owner

Natalie has spent nearly two decades working for nonprofits, starting with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. While there, she oversaw the marketing, communications and online fundraising strategy and execution, including the development of their website and custom-built P2P platform. During her 12-year tenure, the Foundation grew from a handful of events raising $300K into a worldwide phenomenon, raising more than $38 million/year.

To better understand the large, multi-affiliate nonprofit, Natalie accepted the position of VP of Online Fundraising at MDA in 2014, which quickly grew into a role that encompassed the digital marketing team as well as the direct response and donor care teams as VP of Digital and Content Marketing.

Her unique skill set as a marketing fundraiser (or a fundraising marketer), with a full understanding of the digital landscape allows her to provide today’s nonprofit with full-spectrum support - helping nonprofits turn casual donors into life-long supporters and one-time participants into brand advocates.

Most recently, Natalie has been featured as a speaker at BBCON on the subject of brand, marketing and online fundraising, at the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum on building a DIY program, as a keynote speaker at CauseCamp on the topic of best practices in P2P Fundraising, at Social Media Week LA on influencer marketing for nonprofits and at the OneCause Raise Conference on Peer-to-Peer from A-Z.
