Gary Henricksen
Fundraising Coach
For the last 16 years I’ve been teaching nonprofits how to raise money through direct mail and email.
As board chair for the Keene, NH YMCA I lead a $10 million campaign to build a new Y. I’m the Treasurer and twice Conference Co-Chair for AFP-NNE and I’ve served as Vice Chair of the Grace Cottage Hospital Foundation, and help Land for Good as a member of their Board of Advisors. I started my career as an engineer in Silicon Valley and then spent 25 years marketing technology companies.
I love working with fundraisers and speaking at conferences on fundraising.

Making his start in marketing as a commercial illustrator and graphic designer, Lonnie ultimately led creative teams as an Art Director and Production Manager before joining Creative Imaging Group's sales team.
Lonnie's creative thinking, production and distribution knowledge enables him to help clients find the way to successful campaign results.
Cody Brown
Project Manager
Cody’s 14 years in nonprofit direct mail have taken him through every stage of the production process – from prepress and variable data programming to operations management.
That end-to-end experience means he understands what it takes to get an appeal mailing out the door on time, on budget, and into donors’ hands. His deep familiarity with data management and the full production process helps nonprofit clients move from concept to mailbox with confidence.

Zoë Alexis Scott
Development Copywriter
Don't you love it when you find someone who shares your passion? A chat with a stranger becomes something truly special. That's how I feel every time I help an organization build relationships with people in their communities who care.
With nearly 20 years working in nonprofit development, I enjoy connecting people to their passions through heartfelt communication. I am pleased to join Five Maples and help great people build philanthropic connections that matter.
Dianne Regnier
Development Copywriter
At the heart of every memorable fundraising appeal or marketing campaign is a story worth telling, and telling well. With a background that bridges both the nonprofit and professional sectors, I specialize in writing that connects: emotionally, authentically, and effectively.
From impact reports, annual appeal campaigns, and donor newsletters to website copy, email series campaigns, digital ad content, and social media posts, I bring a unified approach to storytelling grounded in real voices, relatable moments, and a clear call to action. Whether I'm helping a mission-driven nonprofit find the right words to engage supporters, or crafting a brand voice for a financial designation program with global reach, my goal is always the same: to write with clarity, humanity, and strategy.
Clients and colleagues count on me for compelling narratives, a collaborative process, and content that moves readers to care and act. I’m excited to bring your message to life with writing that’s thoughtful, strategic, and truly your own.
