Traci Bruckner

Traci brings more than 25 years of fundraising leadership to For Impact. She has led, coached and raised money alongside hundreds of organizations, from international NGOs to hospitals and community service organizations.

Traci works with fundraising teams on strategy that maximizes relationships toward impact, and she guides them through the change it takes to move from reactive to proactive fundraising. She helps organizations design big bet strategies and the bold asks that bring them to life. She also trains boards to demystify fundraising, so every member knows exactly how they can help.

Before joining For Impact, Traci was Chief Development Officer for San Diego Hospice and The Institute for Palliative Medicine, where she helped raise more than $40 million in five years. She previously served as Director of Development for UC San Diego Health Sciences.

Traci learned the power of relationships growing up in rural Kentucky, knocking on doors for her dad’s political campaigns. She and her husband, Shane, are proud empty nesters in Savannah, Georgia, where their mini dachshund, Ollie, runs the house.
