Fundraising Strategy That Moves Your Mission Forward

Great missions deserve sustainable support.

I’m Jocelyn Malik, Owner of Footbridge Canvas and Consulting. I work with nonprofits and arts organizations to strengthen their fundraising strategies so they can grow with clarity, confidence, and purpose. I am a relationship builder, strategic thinker, empathetic listener and results-focused guide with over 20 years’ strategic fundraising experience. My fundraising portfolio includes board development, annual giving campaigns, special events and galas, corporate sponsorship, donor communications strategy and grant prospecting and writing.

I received my Master of Arts Management degree from Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College and undergraduate degree in Great Books Literature and Italian from the University of Notre Dame.
