History of Cabin 9
Cabin 9 Consulting was established in 2017 when Jennie recognized the need for fundraising consulting for small but mighty organizations and teams. As the only development professional in a nonprofit cohort during her time at Lakeshore Camp and Retreat Center, it became clear that executive leaders were doing an excellent job at providing the services and programming at their organizations but needed guidance developing skills to ensure their sustainability.
Seeing as she had both the industry skills these leaders needed and the experience to right-size the solution for the audience, she launched Cabin 9 Consulting. Our company is named after the staff cabin, Cabin 9, at Lakeshore Camp and Retreat Center. Cabin 9 holds a special place in her heart, as it is both the place where she discovered a passion for fundraising that became a career and the place she turned that passion into the ability to teach, partner, and coach leaders and organizations.
Over the years, she has utilized her experience working for both global brands and 2-person organizations to meet leaders where they are and provide solutions that work. With clients from coast to coast and in a variety of industries, she is ready to take on your biggest fundraising challenge.
Let’s talk about how we can work together to fulfill your mission.
