Nadine and Leah will show you where to focus your time and effort if all you’ve got is a website, email, printer, phone, some loyal donors and a few hours a month. You’ll be surprised at what the ROI could be within less than five years.
Nadine Fowler, Personal and Planned Giving Associate - Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation
With more than 25 years experience as a fundraiser and consultant, Nadine has helped raise millions of dollars for charities across our region and our country. She has been inspired and educated by her colleagues and other fundraising professionals, and countless caring and generous people who want to do good things for others in our community.
In 2012, (after working with Leah at The FLA Group / Good Works for 6 years), she took on her current role as the Personal and Planned Giving Associate for Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation. There, she has re-launched a planned giving program that will generate more than $10M for the hospital through bequests, gifts of securities and life insurance.
As a volunteer, Nadine has been a Board Member of AFP Ottawa, Chair of Leave a Legacy Ottawa, Chair of the Ottawa Chapter of CAGP, and currently serves on the Chapter’s Education Committee.
In her spare time, Nadine loves good food, good wine and going outside to play – especially biking, hiking and paddling.
