A personal portfolio in five acts
Taylor Askew Ritchie
The systems work.
Because the person building them understands the mission, the money, the data, the message, and the people doing the work.
I build the systems that make fundraising and nonprofit operations work — the donor databases, grant-tracking frameworks, reporting infrastructure, automations, brand standards, and operating procedures that turn scattered activity into something visible and usable.
As the sole systems developer and operations administrator for a homeless-services nonprofit, I designed and ran the data environment behind more than $855,000 in annual revenue while managing donor operations, grant reporting, communications, privacy responsibilities, and cross-functional process design.
My work sits where technical architecture meets human judgment. I can map a Dataverse relationship, write a board-ready report, reconcile a payment workflow, shape a campaign, document the process, and explain why the system should exist in the first place.
Act II · Selected experience
Work,
in chapters.

Act III · Evidence
Selected
work.
The portfolio is not a gallery of disconnected deliverables. It is evidence that I can design the system, run the work, measure the result, and communicate what happened.
Nonprofit Power Platform Ecosystem
Need: replace scattered records and manual work with a governed system. Build: Model-Driven and Canvas apps, Dataverse architecture, field-level security, flows, dashboards, and JavaScript resources. Value: one connected environment for intake, case management, fundraising, grants, and finance.
Annual Giving Revenue Engine
Need: make annual giving visible from campaign plan through reconciliation. Build: a repeatable operating model connecting donor records, payment channels, stewardship, calendars, and reporting. Value: development and finance work from the same evidence trail.
Grant KPI Framework
Need: turn grant promises into auditable measurement. Build: twenty measures around nine required KPIs, with targets, methods, live capture, and reporting logic. Value: staff activity, outcomes, and funder reports stay connected.
Brand System & Campaign Design
Need: create a coherent public identity across channels. Build: brand standards, voice, web information architecture, donor messaging, and campaign templates. Value: consistent communication staff could apply without a full agency.
Diversity & Inclusion Program
Need: move inclusion work from intention to programming. Build: a stakeholder-informed framework spanning directory, roundtable, summit, attraction, retention, and public events. Value: a practical program structure the Chamber could operate.

Let’s build something that holds.
