Full-Circle Fundraising

Hi. My name is Dawn Moeglin, and I am a fundraising strategist and founder of Full-Circle Fundraising LLC. With 30 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, I partner with nonprofits, educational institutions, and government agencies to strengthen fundraising and administrative systems that support long‑term sustainability.
​
My work focuses on evaluating existing processes and designing practical strategies, tools, and systems that improve effectiveness, build internal capacity, and strengthen sustainability. I bring a strategic, data‑driven approach to fund development, with deep expertise in grant writing, donor messaging, board engagement, and system implementation. Over the course of my career, I have secured millions of dollars in federal, state, local, and private funding and successfully attracted new dollars to the community from out‑of‑state funders.
​
A graduate of Kent State University with a B.S. in Business, I began my fundraising career through grant writing and prospect research, later expanding into sales, marketing, event management, strategic planning, and board training. My experience working with organizations of all sizes enables me to identify gaps, improve efficiency, and build systems that endure beyond staff turnover.
​
I am a longtime Canton resident and active community volunteer. I have served on the board of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Northeast Ohio, was a founding steering committee member of Age‑Friendly Stark County, and volunteered with several local organizations. Outside of work, I enjoy antiquing, thrifting, crafting, and elaborate Christmas decorating with my family and dog, Maple Sugar.
Dawn’s extensive experience includes serving as a consultant, volunteer, or staff member for organizations such as:
