About Charlie Tramazzo

With a robust career spanning nearly 30 years, I am a seasoned development professional who specializes in non-profit marketing and fund development. My particular areas of expertise lie in corporate giving and major donor development. I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to pursue my greatest passion, serving our military heroes, both those on active duty with the USO and those Post 9/11 veterans at Wounded Warrior Project, over these last ten years of my career.I\'ve been fortunate to work with large national organizations, dedicated faith-based groups, and even a foundation within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, tasked with addressing the nursing shortage. My wide-ranging experiences have enabled me to grasp the diverse needs and unique challenges of each sector, all while emphasizing impactful and sustainable growth.Over the years, I\'ve helped raise tens of millions of dollars for a variety of worthy causes. This accomplishment isn\'t merely a professional achievement but a deep source of personal joy. I firmly believe in the power of philanthropy to create significant positive change and am passionately committed to leveraging my expertise to further this mission.Looking ahead, I am eager to continue building bridges between altruistic donors and organizations that are making a real difference, helping to create a better world through strategic and meaningful partnerships.

Experience

1. Planned Giving Officer

   Wounded Warrior Project

   Sep 2023 — Present · Jacksonville, FL, US

   Transferred from the corporate partnership team to fill a position in one of the underrepresented resource development departments at Wounded Warrior Project. The planned giving team was earmarked to add seasoned development professionals to meet the needs of donors requesting information on how to make a legacy gift to WWP and based on the tremendous revenue growth over the past five years. Assigned a portfolio of donors who have requested information or have made a planned gift commitment to cultivate, steward, and inform over time. This position was matched to my strengths of relationship development and knowledge of the organization.
