About
Hello I’m Wanja!
I believe in a world where thoughtful action drives progress, and strategy is guided not just by data but by creativity, compassion, and genuine connection.
With over nine years of experience in fundraising, institutional advancement, and employee engagement; I specialize in building meaningful relationships that unlock potential and drive impact. My work has centered on designing and leading cultivation strategies that have raised millions in support of mission-driven causes, and developing young leaders to foster a lifelong culture of care and community.
From securing major and planned gifts to stewarding grants, leading alumni engagement, and developing associate boards, my approach is both sunny and strategic; grounded in partnership and focused on results. Nothing energizes me more than helping organizations clarify their vision, rally their communities, and raise the resources they need to thrive.
Growing up and living across three continents (Kenya, the UK, and the United States) I offer a global lens on philanthropy, with a deep understanding of international giving trends and the cultural fluency to navigate diverse philanthropic landscapes with ease and authenticity.
My mission is to help organizations deepen relationships, expand their reach, and fund the future they envision: through strategy rooted in empathy, creativity, and cross-cultural insight.
