Tracy Yassini
Fundraiser and Writer in Long Beach, California
Over the last 20 years, I have had the rare and great fortune to be able to garner experience in nearly all forms of fundraising – city and state funding, corporations and foundations, major gifts from individuals, endowment and capital campaigns, individual sustainer programs, direct mail, gala events, and house parties.
In addition to several years spent at larger “institutional nonprofits,” including key positions at City of Hope National Medical Center and the Muscular Dystrophy Association, my “on the ground” experiences with social justice and social service organizations enable me to address real-life issues with strategies and approaches that work. I am a certified Conflict Resolution Mediator, a Certified Fundraising Trainer with the Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training, and a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
