An organization’s philanthropic success depends on well-developed plans, strong relationships, and long-term thinking.  MPS's  mission is to provide expertise and individualized solutions with a goal of creating  programs and strategies that enable clients to not only reach their goals but surpass them.

Meet KRistin 

With more than 18 years of active fundraising experience in Portland, I have proven success in planning and leading individual fundraising initiatives, as well as comprehensive campaigns. These efforts include soliciting and closing multi-million dollar gifts, leading staff and volunteers to accomplish fundraising goals, and forming long-term relationships with individual philanthropists, corporations, and foundations.

Throughout my career I have worked at a variety of organizations, concentrating on building relationships in an industry that sees frequent turnover. 11 years at the School of Business at Portland State University saw me start as a development coordinator,  accelerate to Development Director and then lead a $20 million capital campaign.

Philosophy

I am dedicated to helping communities develop and grow. Always on the search for forward movement, I want to help you work toward your mission and create change.  

I believe that the way to success is through listening, taking the time to plan, being willing to evolve and partnering along the way. This is at the core of what I do.    

Dedicated to equity in philanthropy, I work hard to ensure that all voices are brought to the table, heard and represented. This includes donors, advancement professionals, volunteers and communities being served.
