JENNIFER PERROW

Jennifer is a skilled stewardship and communications professional who helps ministries articulate vision, communicate mission, and raise funds to advance Kingdom priorities. Her vision is a world where churches, schools, and non-profits can focus on ministry, education, and service without undue concern for resources.

She spent over 20 years in Christian higher education at Seattle Pacific University in a variety of senior leadership roles in Undergraduate Admissions, University Communications, The President’s Office, and the Office of University Advancement. Jennifer also served as the Director of Stewardship Ministries at Seattle’s University Presbyterian Church and spent six years on the board of Street Youth Ministries, an organization serving unhoused young adults in Seattle.

She has experience leading capital campaigns, creating engaging donor communication plans, launching stewardship and annual fund programs, developing effective major gift strategies, coaching senior leaders (and all leaders) to gain confidence and achieve success in fundraising, and training boards to become excellent at raising financial resources. She holds a master’s degree in education and has earned her CFRE (Certified Fundraising Executive) credential.

She and her husband, Dan, have been married for over 30 years and enjoy spending time with their two wonderful young adult children (and their spouses). In her free time, Jennifer is likely to be found kayaking, hiking, cross-country skiing, entertaining, reading, writing, traveling, or taking her dog, Winnie, for walks around the city.
