Dawn Nokomis

I am a mission-driven nonprofit development and operations leader with over 10 years of experience helping organizations grow their fundraising capacity, strengthen systems, and support high-performing teams. I’ve had the chance to manage multi-million-dollar fundraising portfolios and lead projects in Salesforce administration, revenue forecasting, grant management, and donor pipeline development at organizations like EcoHealth Alliance, New York Cares, and the ALS Association. I enjoy bridging strategy and execution—whether it’s aligning budgets with revenue goals, designing user-friendly workflows, or making sure financial systems run smoothly. Alongside this work, I’m deeply committed to equity and community, which has shaped my recent role with the Mindful Birthing and Parenting Foundation in perinatal health. At the heart of it all, I care about building inclusive, sustainable systems that empower teams and create lasting impact in communities.
