I work with people and organizations to develop ideas, address challenges and move projects forward. That might mean creating a strategy, finding the resources, building the right relationships or recognizing an opportunity that hasn’t yet been fully explored.
Good ideas are only the beginning.
Strategy.
I work with clients to clarify priorities, develop ideas, strengthen programs and partnerships, and create a practical way forward. That can mean developing a new initiative, rethinking an existing one or simply getting an idea out of your head and into a plan that works.
Planning. Positioning. Programs. Partnerships.
Philanthropy.
Grants. Fundraising. Donors. Sponsorships.
Fundraising starts with a good case for why someone should care.
I work with nonprofits and organizations on grant writing, fundraising strategy, donor engagement and sponsorships—from identifying opportunities and developing proposals to strengthening the story behind the ask.
Art.
Artists. Collections. Advisory. Placement.
Art is personal :: whether you're making it, collecting it, living with it or deciding what comes next.
I work with artists, collectors and organizations on artist strategy and positioning, collections, sourcing and placement, and secondary-market resale.
CARCIOFI Concierge.
For the request that doesn't quite fit the usual category.
Some of my favorite projects start with, “I don't know if this is something you do, but…”
CARCIOFI Concierge is for those projects :: art and cultural travel, sourcing, research, secondary art resale and other requests that fall somewhere outside the usual lines.

What do clients need to provide?
Clear communication, timely responses, and access to requested materials are essential to keeping projects moving smoothly. Most importantly, clients bring their knowledge of their work, communities, and goals. Active collaboration—through shared context, honest conversation, and responsiveness—allows the work to be thoughtful, accurate, and effective.
I work closely with clients to guide the process, identify what’s needed, and keep requests focused and manageable, particularly for small teams with limited capacity.
How does CARCIOFI work?
I work alongside clients as both a strategic partner and a steady organizer. I help clarify goals, shape strong narratives, and translate them into actionable development plans. This includes hands-on grant writing, maintaining a grants matrix, tracking deadlines, managing calendars, and keeping funding work moving forward when it might otherwise stall.
In practice, I’m often the person making sure the right materials are gathered, the language is drafted and refined, and the next step is clear - without clients having to hold every detail themselves.
How is payment structured?
Projects are custom-designed for each client. Fees are paid throughout the project. CARCIOFI does not take commissions on awarded nonprofit grants.
