Appointed Senior Consultant in October, Corinne Rusch-Drutz is the newest member of the team of fundraising experts in the Ontario region. With over 20 years as a C-suite executive in non-profits, she works with organizations of all sizes to mobilize internal and external groups to advance strategy and maximize organizational purpose. By driving investment in community through the intersection of marketing and fundraising, Corinne supports organizations by positioning their value propositions as causes worthy of greater awareness, partnership, and investment.
“It’s very exciting to be partnering with Global in service of such a broad range of non-profits. I was very drawn to the concept of “elevating mission together” and having an opportunity to work with an ace team of Senior Consultants who have such wide-ranging expertise, and shared values,” states Corinne. “This is a deeply uncertain time for the non-profit sector in Canada. There’s more need for social services than ever, and most communities face less funding and fewer funders than before. Organizations need strategic partners, like those at Global, to navigate their unique challenges and draw on the collective experience we bring. It’s gratifying to bring my sector knowledge and passion for finding innovative solutions to the table and work alongside other Globalites, supporting organizations to continue in their important work.”
A ‘lifer’ in not-for-profit, working across healthcare, social services, arts & culture and supporting faith-based institutions, Corinne helps organizations to develop strategies that create access by increasing awareness and revenue, expanding services and supports, and engaging community. Most recently, she was CEO of the Kensington Health Foundation, completing a capital campaign for hospice care at the height of the pandemic. In addition to her role as Chief Marketing/Development Officer at the Art Gallery of Ontario, she has held leadership roles at Baycrest Foundation, YWCA Canada and supported many non-profits of every size across the country by building strategies that galvanize around their purpose to create breakthroughs, spike awareness, and generate revenue.
“I’m honoured to welcome Corinne to our team,” shares Guy Mallabone, CEO & President of Global. “With her deep experience in raising capital for healthcare, post-secondary education, social services, and arts organizations, our clients are going to love working with her to help drive money to mission.”
Echoing the sentiment, Vice President, Ontario, Dora Boylen-Pabst says, “I’m excited to have Corinne join the Ontario team. Her enthusiasm, depth of experience, and location in downtown Toronto will be a huge benefit to our existing and future clients!”
