Annick J. Sullivan

My field is philanthropy/fundraising. I love being part of the nonprofit world. We transform lives and share the joy of giving. We inspire; we turn dreamers into dream-makers for a cause. We build an equal partnership with donors: we provide the know-how, they provide the financing, and together we build a better world.

I have 20 years of experience in education, healthcare, social issues, and the environment, including 10 years at Columbia University, and I raised millions of dollars in gifts and grants for the common good.

I recently retired from the University, and I now work as a philanthropy consultant to help nonprofits strengthen their fundraising systems, expand their donor base, and multiply their positive impact on society.
