Bio
Hannah Berger is on a mission to transform not just how fundraisers work — but how they see themselves.
As President of The Philanthropy Coach, Hannah offers two distinct but connected services: strategic consulting that sharpens organizational fundraising, and personal coaching that transforms the individual doing the work. Rooted in an undergraduate foundation in psychology and deepened through decades of frontline fundraising and nonprofit leadership, she brings a whole-person approach that most training never reaches.
At the core of her work is a simple but powerful insight: the biggest obstacle to fundraising success is rarely the strategy. It's the story the fundraiser is telling themselves. Hannah helps clients uncover the beliefs and internal narratives quietly shaping their results — and replace them with the clarity, confidence, and conviction sustainable fundraising requires.The transformation her clients describe isn't incremental. It's the missing piece that makes everything else click.
Based in Los Angeles, Hannah has deep roots in the San Diego philanthropic community — where she built her career, her network, and many of the client relationships she continues to nurture today.
