YOUR MISSION DESERVES MORE THAN A CONSTANT SCRAMBLE
And so do you.
I’m Christina. I’ve seen too many organizations operate from a cycle of burnout, chasing dollars, and tracking every penny, hoping to make it through the next quarter - without the space to even think long term.
It doesn’t have to be like this.
I started Guava Tree Strategies to help small- to mid-sized nonprofits build sustainable fundraising strategies and strong, supported teams.

I get it! I’m not here to tell you to magically add three new roles you can’t afford.
When we work together, I’ll design a plan that meets your organization where it is now. We’ll identify ways to get the biggest impact, find ways to ease the pressure on your current team, and build a roadmap for the future. You’ll get a clear picture of what’s possible now, and how to set your team (of one or more!) up for long-term success. No additional hiring required.

Let’s talk about what you’re actually getting.
My services start at $3,000 per month - which, even on the high end, is a fraction of what you’d pay for a full-time senior development hire. You’re getting expert strategy, a plan tailored to your organization, a partner who's invested in your success, and someone who will work alongside you and roll their sleeves up to put it all into place.

You’re not alone. Plenty of orgs have worked with consultants who handed over a pretty slide deck and then disappeared.
That’s not me.
When we work together, I consider myself part of your team. I’ll be in your corner whether you need help responding to a donor email or talking down a Board member who’s set on planning another gala - all while building the structure and systems your organization actually needs.
-
If you’ve ever said, “We need a better plan,” or “We’re doing too much with too little,” then yes, you’re ready. I’ve been in your shoes - and I would have loved to have a partner to work through this with.
Whether your budget is $250K or $5M, we’ll create the right-sized strategy to move your fundraising forward.

Fundraising isn’t about quick wins . When you bring me on, we’ll focus on building the right strategy and systems so your organization can grow steadily and sustainably. It takes about 3 months for me to understand your organization and build a plan to address current pain points. From there, we jump into solving those pain points and start building out an actionable strategy. Some clients have seen increased revenue after just three months, but the real payoff comes from having a plan that works year after year.
-
I know you’re already stretched thin. My job is to take work off your shoulders and add capacity, not add more work. When we work together, you can expect regular check-ins and collaboration, but I’ll handle the heavy lifting when it comes to strategy, systems, and tools. Think of it as investing a few focused hours with me each month to save yourself dozens of hours of stress down the line.
Isn’t it Time Your Fundraising Strategy Worked As Hard As You Do?
You could keep trying to put together a strategy based on what organizations are doing year after year. Or you could hire me and we’ll build a custom strategy that finally allows you to start thinking beyond this quarter. (And maybe, just maybe, you’ll be able to take a day off without checking email).
