SMART FUNDRAISING. STRONGER TEAMS. BIGGER IMPACT.

EXPERT STRATEGY TO HELP YOUR NONPROFIT THRIVE

You don’t have to keep fundraising in crisis mode. If you’re tired of starting from zero every year, losing talented staff, and struggling to make real progress - you’re not alone. I help nonprofits put the right strategy in place and support the people behind it - so fundraising feels manageable, your staff feels supported, and your mission moves forward.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Wondering how to grow your nonprofit without losing your sanity?

YOU’RE DOING EVERYTHING - BUT YOU STILL FEEL STUCK

Your nonprofit’s revenue is growing, but your fundraising systems aren’t. Your team (or Team of 1) is stretched, turnover is high, and your Board wants to help - but doesn’t know how.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Hi! I’m Christina.

I help nonprofits move beyond survival mode by building sustainable fundraising strategies and strong teams so they can focus less on the money and more on the mission.

I started Guava Tree Strategies because I know what it’s like to work at an organization with big dreams and too few resources, and I know how frustrating it can be to keep pushing without a real plan.

There’s a lot of advice out there - “diversify your revenue,” “act like a business,” “build a culture of philanthropy.” But none of that matters if it isn’t grounded in your organization’s reality. You don’t need more advice - you need a sustainable fundraising strategy and a partner who gets it.

Client Love

  • “Christina outlined a straightforward, easy-to-follow email marketing and social media campaign for our End of Year (EOY) that resulted in donations from our individual donor base to increase by 246% compared to the previous year without her guidance.

    Christina is a results-driven, strategic, and highly skilled fundraising expert, and I highly recommend her to any organization looking to increase revenue, engage donors, and build long-term sustainability.”

    -Erin Hughes, Executive Director, Solidarity Engineering

  • “I hired Christina to build out a development team for a national, multi-entity non-profit organization. We had no fundraising plan in place, no development staff, a disorganized donor tracking system, and lacked proper donor stewardship.

    Her ability to see the bigger picture of an organization, identify needs, and create solution-oriented systems is unparalleled. I couldn't recommend her more highly!”

    Christina Baal Owens, Executive Director
