Katie Croskrey

Leadership Coach

As a Nonprofit Leadership Coach with Get Fully Funded, Katie is focused on providing tools for nonprofit leaders to excel in their organization. From coaching and training her aim is providing support to nonprofit leaders with Board, Volunteer, Staff and Strategic planning projects.

Katie is the President of Non Profit Magic, an Executive Coaching and Consulting solution for non profit organizations. For more than 25 years she has been involved in fundraising with the nation’s leading voluntary health agencies, including the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, American Diabetes Association and the Alzheimer’s Association. In addition to fundraising, Katie has worked to deliver and evaluate education programs for people living with chronic illnesses. From grant writing to special events, her experience is varied and comprehensive. Katie knows how challenging a leadership role in a nonprofit organization can be since she has served in these roles at the local and national level for many years.

Katie stays involved with the local philanthropic community as a volunteer. She has served on the AFP Philanthropy Day planning committee for many years. Katie has been an instructor at the University of California San Diego Extended Studies for 14 years. She teaches Introduction to Development, Corporate Partnerships courses and is developing a new course in Board Relations. Katie enjoys introducing and inspiring people to become involved in the nonprofit sector.

In 2018 Katie completed a master’s in nonprofit management from Regis University. Katie is also an ICF certified coach (ACC) with a focus on nonprofit leaders.

Katie’s greatest accomplishment is coaching staff to accomplish more than they ever felt possible. She feels a sense of pride when staff she has coached and mentored move on to leadership positions in other organizations or when students accomplish the goals they have set. The best compliment Katie received was from a past staff person who told her…”There were times I didn’t think I could do it, but you (Katie) always thought I could and I accomplished more than I ever thought possible.”

Outside of work, Katie can be found spending time with her dog, Finn. They love to walk, hike and learning to swim in the ocean (for Finn). Katie also enjoys skiing, all outdoor activities involving music and traveling to visit friends and family..
