Biography
Wagner Graduate School of Public Service
In 1994, Sarah Durham escaped from the advertising, design and marketing world(s) she’d grown up in and started Big Duck. While she’d learned a lot, it was time to put communications best-practices to work for a better reason: to help nonprofits increase their visibility, raise money, and move the needle on their missions. Today, Big Duck is the leading communications firm that works exclusively with nonprofits. Their clients include local, regional, national and international organizations such as The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, American Jewish World Service, and the New York City Charter School Center.
Sarah is a total nonprofit communications nerd. She was named a top fundraiser under 40 by Fundraising Success Magazine in 2006, and one of the most influential women in technology by Fast Company magazine in 2010. She’s a regular speaker at Association of Fundraising Professionals and Nonprofit Technology Network conferences.
The author of “Brandraising: How Nonprofits Raise Visibility and Money Through Smart Communications” (Jossey-Bass/Wiley, 2009), Sarah teaches aspiring nonprofit communications nerds at NYU’s Wagner School and at the Athena Center for Women’s Leadership at Barnard College. She regularly gives workshops and webinars to anyone who’ll listen. Sarah Tweets @BigDuckSarah; please join her in conversation there.
