About Tarsha

A Career Defined by Bold Outcomes

Tarsha W. Calloway, MA, MBA is a powerhouse in modern philanthropy — a seasoned advisor, strategist, and author who has raised tens of millions of dollars across a career defined by bold outcomes, equity-centered values, and an unwavering belief in the potential of mission-driven organizations to change communities.

As Founder and Principal of Philanthropy Fortified, Tarsha has spent her career at the intersection of strategy and social impact — working with nonprofits, family foundations, arts organizations, educational institutions, and high-net-worth individuals to build the fundraising infrastructure, board leadership, and philanthropic vision that makes lasting change possible.

Her work is guided by the Fortified Impact System™, a proprietary four-pillar methodology she developed from decades of real-world organizational experience. It reflects her deepest conviction: when people and organizations are strategically aligned with who they truly are and what they truly value, they give, lead, and build differently.

Tarsha holds a Master of Arts and a Master of Business Administration, and is based in Atlanta, Georgia.

A Divine Original™ — Tarsha is also the creator of A Divine Original™, a personal leadership and wellness platform for women stepping into their next season of life and leadership. Learn more →
