Michael Macleod

Michael Macleod is responsible for identifying, qualifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding major outright and planned gift prospects by matching and advancing NPF's fundraising priorities with prospective donors’ interests. He also helps to create individual engagement and solicitation strategies to increase NPF’s philanthropic and in-kind support from individuals and family foundations.
