Shalom. I’m Tasha.
I’m a nonprofit development leader with over 18 years of professional experience. I specialize in managing high value prospects, mobilizing niche communities, tiered communication strategies, and using evidence-based fundraising practices. I am one of the original co-founders of MaTovu and continue to serve in leadership positions at nonprofits across Saint Louis and Missouri.
My background spans nonprofit development across multiple sectors, with particular strength in major and planned giving, relationship building, and values-driven fundraising. Grounded in the belief that work must be both kind and brave, I am committed to mission-centered leadership and thoughtful stewardship.

core values
kind
There is a difference between being nice and being kind. Niceness is often about keeping things comfortable, maintaining the status quo, and avoiding friction. Kindness is something more demanding. It means looking beneath the surface to understand the root of someone's struggle and doing the work to help address it. Niceness is passive; kindness is active. It requires empathy, courage, and a willingness to show up when things are difficult.
brave
I believe in moving toward discomfort rather than away from it. When something challenges me, puzzles me, or turns my assumptions upside down, my instinct is to get to work. I find new and difficult situations invigorating because they offer opportunities to learn, reconsider what I believe, change my mind, and challenge the status quo. Growth requires curiosity, humility, and the courage to be wrong.
transparent
Honesty is a form of respect. When paired with kindness, it becomes the foundation for trust. I believe people deserve clarity about the decisions that affect them, the resources entrusted to an organization, and the people with whom they are partnering. I am committed to communicating openly, sharing the information people need to make informed decisions, and being honest even when the conversation is uncomfortable. Transparency isn't simply about sharing good news; it's about building relationships grounded in trust and accountability.
