What People Are Saying
“Chavon was a key partner to me as a I hired a regional Head of Development for the TFA-Connecticut region (annual revenue ~4.5MM). First, she built an understanding of the local landscape, both internal and external. She took the time to really work with me on narrowing what success would look like in the role and what profile would most likely produce success. Once the role posted and we began engaging with finalists, Chavon spent considerable time reviewing work samples, debriefing my interviews, and most important, conducting conversations on her own to assess candidates. While I hope we don't have a Head of Development opening on my team for many more years, when we do, I'll be asking Chavon to partner with me again.

“For a truly warm and welcoming introduction to key fundraising tenets, call on Chavon Carroll! She compassionately connected to our equity work, linked our development strategy to proven practices, and coached us through our first two major asks successfully. She made our struggle to navigate our first development activities culminate in celebration with clear and practical guidance.”
Janeen Bryant, Director of Operations at CREED NC
“As a first-time Executive Director leading Teach For America-Orlando, my first priority was filling my vacant Development Director role. It was a huge decision, and my first significant leadership test. Chavon was invaluable throughout the entire process. She acted as a trusted confidante for me and helped refine the job description, gave advice on networks to help source qualified candidates, and helped interview my finalists. Thanks to her leadership and support, I landed a strong hire who helped turn around my development shop & accelerate the growth and sustainability of our regional team. I couldn’t have done it without her.”
