John leads NESS’ fundraising efforts to secure financial support and philanthropic investments that propel NESS forward, increasing social impact and student learning. NESS employs a unique experiential, STEM-based education model that empowers students with leadership, teamwork, confidence, and problem-solving skills to ensure academic success. From its inception, NESS’ first core value was inclusivity, serving students students of all backgrounds in both urban and suburban markets. This is the first and only program of its kind to be accredited by New England Association of schools and colleges. As a fundraiser, I focus on a team -based, donor centric approach that provides personal reward to donors by simultaneously expanding NESS’ ability to improve lives.
