I’m the founder of TJ Marie Consulting, and for the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with inspiring nonprofits across the U.S. and Canada. My passion lies in strengthening the social sector through collaboration, bold thinking, and strategies that actually work.

Over the course of my career, I’ve helped clients secure more than $1 billion in philanthropic support for transformative projects and missions.

I’m known for being results-driven—quick to identify strategic opportunities, meet challenges with urgency, and guide teams toward meaningful progress.

Clients say I bring focused, creative energy to every engagement. I build strong relationships, listen deeply, and help organizations unlock new levels of fundraising success—from multimillion-dollar gifts to lasting donor partnerships.

Originally from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, I now call Chicago home, where I live with my sweet pup, Chloe. When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring new places, cooking up something fun, or vibing at a live music show.

But enough about me—tell me about you!
