About Kathy

With over 25 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, I work alongside senior leaders to help their organizations grow and adapt to the evolving landscape of philanthropy. My focus has always been on supporting the missions of nonprofit organizations through a blend of strategic and operational insights. Before founding Kathy Howrigan Consulting, I served as Vice President for Strategic Engagement at the University of Vermont Foundation, where I helped develop a data-driven, audience-focused approach to alumni, donor, and volunteer engagement and led the launch of two campaigns. As a consultant, I’ve had the opportunity to work with over 100 clients on a range of initiatives, including campaign strategy, organizational design, and annual giving.

If you’re interested in increasing philanthropic affinity, engagement, and revenue, then alignment of your strategies, resources, and tactics is a must. This is my passion.

About the Logo

Several years ago, I was hiking on a local trail with my husband and three sons. We came upon a bench with this breathtaking view. From that spot, we could see the trees right in front of us, and at the same time we were looking through a window to the horizon. We could see both “here” and “there” - the details and the big picture - at the same time. This is how I approach my work; the logo reflects this perspective. Of course, the beauty of Vermont is nice, too!
