I help bring caring donors who want to financially support young people to reach their full potential through mentoring to TeamMates. The development department is responsible for the cultivations, solicitation, and stewardship of the TeamMates donors. We secure major gifts from foundations, corporations, and individuals, implement our annual appeals and produce special events, all of which offer financial stability to TeamMates and the TeamMates Foundation.
