About Aïssatou

After 6 years of working as an employee for associations as a partnership manager, I have acquired solid skills in fundraising from private companies as well as from the State.

Furthermore, I have led several projects which have allowed me to acquire great abilities in managing different types of projects.

Since September 2023, I have been supporting associations in their fundraising efforts by offering the following services:
- develop your partnership development strategy: diagnosis, ecosystem analysis, action plan definition
- develop your private partnerships (companies, corporate foundations, family foundations): build a prospecting plan, make contact and write project notes, respond to calls for projects, support partner loyalty
- develop your public funding (State, local authorities): analyze the finance bill and position your structure accordingly, share contacts, write cerfa forms, respond to calls for projects, support public partner loyalty.
- build and implement digital projects, such as CRMs, or partnership projects.

I like to take the time to discuss with my potential clients, so do not hesitate to contact me so we can discuss your needs further.
