Meet Brenda Ray Scott, CFRE
Brenda Ray Scott is a pioneering force in nonprofit consulting, blending her decades of experience with a profound passion for philanthropy. Through fundraising assessments, fundraising planning, and philanthropy coaching, Brenda Ray empowers organizations to maximize their contributed revenue.
One of the things that stands out about Brenda is her commitment to others. I asked her about this and she shared with me that her focus is on "making sure that whatever the interaction or project, whether a colleague, donor, volunteer, or partner, the other person has an opportunity to shine and that their time with me is positive." And this has been my experience with her. Her regard for others really stands out.

I have worked with Brenda for many years as a peer and also more recently she reported directly to me while I was in an Acting CEO role. Brenda is skilled at working effectively and strategically with Executive Leadership. She is a compassionate, focused and collaborative leader. She is able to envision the future and plan and implement big picture initiatives as well as manage day to day operations. She has strengthened Board leadership with strong recruitment, good communication, and passion about the organization mission.

Brenda’s enthusiasm for making positive things happen in the greater community is clearly demonstrated in her hard work and commitment to every project she takes on. Brenda is a smart, intense and highly motivated woman with a passion for connecting people and ideas. She meets people easily, brings creativity to the table, and knows -- or figures out -- how to bring projects and ideas to fruition. I always learn something new when I spent time with Brenda. She never fails to surprise and amaze me.

As a past Terwilliger Plaza Foundation Board president
prior to her tenure and current pianist volunteer, I have known Brenda as the Foundation Executive Director for over five years. It is clear that she loves to serve this thriving community, and her skills are pronounced. Brenda is an adept and empathic listener who knows how to lead by fashioning a plan through consensus and implementing it effectively. I saw this firsthand with the new donor wall from start to finish! She is keenly aware of mission and vision which aligns with her optimistic and affirming approach.
