Danielle Lavon, CFRE

Senior Consultant for Philanthropy Operations & Data Analytics


Danielle brings over 18 years of experience helping mission-driven organizations build strong, data-informed, and donor-centered philanthropy programs. With a background spanning healthcare, higher education, civic institutions, and nonprofit organizations, she has led comprehensive fundraising operations that integrate annual giving, donor engagement, compliance, marketing, prospect research, and system optimization.

At her core, Danielle is a systems thinker and builder. She specializes in designing efficient, scalable infrastructures that not only meet today’s needs but also position organizations for sustainable growth. From developing strategic plans and analyzing fundraising pipelines to reimagining data workflows and building operational frameworks, Danielle brings a grounded, practical approach to solving complex challenges.

Her clients appreciate her ability to bridge high-level strategy with day-to-day execution—making fundraising programs more transparent, effective, and aligned with organizational values. She believes that the right tools, clearly defined processes, and clean data are key to unlocking meaningful donor relationships and long-term impact.

Danielle is based in Boston, where she lives with her husband, three young children, and a lovable lab/mastiff mix. When she’s not helping organizations streamline their operations or enhance their fundraising, you’ll find her outdoors with her family, reading the news, or organizing the closets. She lives by the motto that everything is figureoutable—and works every day to help others believe that too.
