About Priyanka Sharma-Sindhar
I\'m a fundraiser with a background in journalism, writing and entrepreneurship. I love my work, which is building a highly engaged community of funders and partners and helping them stay close to a meaningful cause they care about. At the end of the day, it\'s storytelling, communicating and nurturing relationships over aligned values. I\'m often recruited to roll out new strategies or to enhance an existing operation because of the diverse and wide-ranging experience I bring with me. What I did in journalism carries over well in fundraising - being bold, curious, persuasive and passionate. I know how to create and sell compelling products and grow revenue. I have out-of-the-box perspectives and a problem-solving attitude to each challenge I take on. I\'m entrepreneurial. I co-founded and launched a hyper-local site in the aggressive Bay Area market before local became cool. I went on to roll out a series of local sites for AOL before moving to the business side of journalism. My skill set includes, in addition to development: communications, media outreach, content marketing strategy, events - and nonprofit startups.
