Rosie Miller

Project Director

Knowing my heart was in nonprofits, I eventually transitioned from the international corporate world in Manhattan into nonprofits and became the development manager for an organization in Central Florida.  After completing a major capital campaign and realizing my strength in developing relationships and mutually beneficial partnerships, I began working for a national nonprofit organization and decided that my career anchors would forever be dropped in the nonprofit world.

Quite often nonprofits work with limited budgets and huge missions. I set my goals on showing nonprofits how to produce amazing work with the funds at hand while simultaneously diversifying their revenue streams. Whether a small budget or a large budget, the opportunity to change the world is around every corner.

My overall commitment to each nonprofit I help is to make them realize their greater potential, create an ambitious yet achievable revenue model, and work with all its might to help accomplish strategic and financial success to better serve their respective communities. Passion to Purpose. Life’s too short not to love your job!

Rosie has a rich and impressive resume of local and national nonprofit experience spanning more than 20 years. She spearheaded fund development and marketing efforts for several large nonprofits.

Rosie served as the Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships for the Assistance Fund, Inc. for six years.
