Little Friends, Inc., a nonprofit organization, is pleased to announce the addition of Mary Koehler and Tom Zimmerman – both joining the development team.
Mary Koehler joins Little Friends as Vice President of Development, Major Gifts and Planned Giving. Koehler has a long and diverse history in the development community, including 10 successful years at a major non-profit where she personally developed donor-centric programs that grew exponentially under her guidance. During her tenure, Koehler raised in excess of one million voluntary dollars annually.
“Little Friends is a remarkable organization, and I’m looking forward to bringing my talents to their development team,” said Koehler.
Prior to her time in the non-profit sector, Koehler was the Executive Vice President for Administrative Operations with Moser Enterprises Land Development Company and Trust where oversight of philanthropic contributions was just one of her varied duties.
In addition, Little Friends welcomes Tom Zimmerman as the Director of Development Operations. Zimmerman has extraordinary experience in database management and an expert in their CRM program, Raiser’s Edge. Zimmerman brings an extensive background in donor campaign management, solicitation, social media, and web design. His most recent experience involves doing all of the above on a daily basis and being an integral part in raising funds for the benefit of a successful local non-profit.
“Mary and Tom are exactly the type of people we need on our team to grow the organization in a strategically positive way. We are confident their talents will take us to the next level,” said Kristi Landorf, President and CEO of Little Friends.
