ABOUT FULL-CIRCLE FUNDRAISING

Dawn Moeglin is a fundraising strategist. She launched Full-Circle Fundraising LLC in 2020, having dedicated over 20 years to the nonprofit sector in fund development, community engagement, and marketing. As a consultant, Dawn partners with nonprofits and businesses seeking support in establishing or optimizing their organization’s fundraising or administrative systems. This is accomplished by auditing current processes and then designing, integrating, and managing strategies to maximize effectiveness, build capacity, and enhance sustainability and productivity.  

 

Dawn holds a B.S. in Business from Kent State University. After an employer recognized her writing skills, she was introduced to grant prospecting and writing, launching her fundraising career. Her career evolved to encompass sales and marketing, fundraising and event management, strategic planning, and board training. She has successfully secured millions of dollars from federal, state, and local grant funders. Dawn has achieved significant success in attracting new funding to the community from out-of-state funders. Dawn knows how to gather the data necessary to demonstrate a nonprofit’s need for financial support to engage donors and sponsors. She can also expertly tell a story showing how an organization impacts the community it serves, so funders feel confident in providing financial support. Her experiences with agencies of all sizes enable Dawn to bring a strategic eye to system evaluation and implementation, reducing costs while improving efficiencies.
