ABOUT KATHERINE SARLSON
With more than 30 years of experience in major gifts, planned giving, and endowment strategy, I help nonprofits build long-term sustainability through thoughtful, donor-centered legacy development.My career has spanned local and national roles, including serving as National Director of Life & Legacy at the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, where I led efforts to strengthen endowments for 900+ organizations across North America and guided a team of consultants supporting community partners. I’ve also led comprehensive planned giving programs in healthcare and community-based organizations, stewarded high-value donor relationships, and driven initiatives that expanded legacy giving pipelines, secured complex estate commitments, and cultivated internal capacity.Today, through Sarlson LegacyWorks, I partner with organizations to:• Build or strengthen planned giving and endowment programs• Design donor engagement, recognition, and stewardship strategies• Implement systems, training, and structures that build confidence and culture• Provide hands-on guidance around donor conversations and philanthropic readinessI believe legacy philanthropy is more than a fundraising tactic — it’s a long-term strategy for stability, mission alignment, and community promise.If your organization is ready to begin or deepen this work, I’d love to connect.
