Sue Adams

I am a fundraising and development professional dedicated to building lasting relationships with donors and creating programs that advance organizational missions. As Director of Major Giving at SSM Health Foundation - St. Louis, I lead initiatives that engage high-level donors, expand major gift programs, and drive impactful philanthropic results.

With experience spanning healthcare, higher education, and consulting, I have a proven record of raising significant funds, managing large-scale campaigns, and implementing strategic development programs. My career highlights include raising over $30 million during my tenure at St. Luke's Hospital, growing leadership donor participation, and exceeding national benchmarks for donor renewal and engagement.

I bring a combination of strategic vision, hands-on donor engagement, and results-driven leadership to every role, empowering organizations to maximize their fundraising impact and support the communities they serve.
