Hi, I’m JB Favour – an International Nonprofit Executive, Fundraising Strategist, and Nonprofit Consultant with cross-regional experience spanning the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Africa. My executive leadership experience includes directing an International nonprofit in Minnesota, overseeing initiatives that provide full-ride higher education scholarships, mentorships, and wraparound support to underserved youth and refugees, with a strong focus on girls’ education across East Africa.
With a multidisciplinary background in communications,content strategy, and marketing, I bring a distinctive approach to fundraising rooted in storytelling, positioning, and strategic communication. My work is shaped by years of building and managing a global content and communications agency beginning as a writer — experience I now leverage to help nonprofits secure funding and grow sustainably.
I’ve supported mission-driven organizations across the US and beyond serving with RUOVA Consulting, Sheridan and Pearlstone Consulting, Tennessee amongst others where I managed a diverse portfolio of nonprofit clients, helping them win grants, strengthen donor relationships, and build funding pipelines that last. I specialize in translating impact into compelling narratives that resonate with funders, even in resource-constrained environments.
Whether supporting early-stage nonprofits or scaling established organizations, I partner closely with teams to turn vision into strategy and strategy into funded impact.

‘We had the passion and the programs, but we weren’t translating that into strong funding opportunities. But JB brought a level of clarity and structure to our fundraising that we didn’t have before. She stepped in, refined our messaging, and helped us reposition how we presented our work to funders. Within a short time, we began seeing stronger responses to our applications and were able to secure new funding that we had previously struggled to access.
