With nearly two decades of experience in the nonprofit sector, Miquette Thompson is a skilled fundraiser and fund development generalist, focused on helping organizations find practical, cost-effective solutions to meet their needs. Miquette has raised significant funds and built development capacity for many different types of nonprofits, from direct human services providers, to intermediary grantmakers, to arts and advocacy organizations. Having earned a Master of Nonprofit Administration from the University of San Francisco, and a Certified Fundraising Executive credential from CFRE International, Miquette has the knowledge base needed to strengthen your organization's fund development work.
In addition to a strong understanding of development best practices, Miquette has also received extensive training in a variety of social justice frameworks that center justice and equity for marginalized communities. This training serves as a central underpinning in Miquette’s approach to development work, and she believes that nonprofits of every size and budget deserve to have access to the tools they need to build strong fundraising capacity.
In addition to independent projects, Miquette provided services to Essex & Drake Fund Raising Counsel from 2017-2023 and continues to support in an advisory capacity. In September 2023, Miquette returned to in-house fundraising.
