Fundraising Consulting Services for Nonprofit Leaders - without the burnout

Survival Mode Isn’t Sustainable

You didn’t get into this work to constantly chase funding.
You got into this work because you care about the mission and want to make a real impact.

But here you are - starting every year from scratch, stuck in a pattern you know isn’t working but without the bandwidth to figure out why. You’re tired of planning galas or applying to countless grants hoping something will land. You’re ready to build real momentum but you need the right structure, systems, and strategy in place.

That’s where I come in.

How We Can Work Together

You don’t need another fundraising plan that sits on a shelf. You need a strategic thought partner to work alongside you and support your organization’s growth without adding to your team’s workload.

I offer one service: a hands-on, customizable partnership that’s built around your organization’s needs.

Every nonprofit is different, but most partnerships include:

  • A review of your current fundraising to see what’s working, what’s not, and where you can grow

  • Creating a realistic plan that fits your team’s time, skills, and energy

  • Working alongside you to make it happen - from campaigns and donor outreach to team structure and onboarding

  • Helping your team avoid burnout so they can stay and keep making an impact

We work together for a minimum of 3 months, with pricing starting at $4,000 per month. Some organizations work with me short-term to get focused, while others choose longer partnerships for deeper work and ongoing support.

THERE ARE A LOT OF FUNDRAISING CONSULTANTS OUT THERE

I’m the only one working

at the intersection

of fundraising and staff retention.

Because a fundraising strategy only works if there’s someone in place to implement it.

Through data-driven strategy, coaching, and the occasional (therapeutic) venting session, I help nonprofits design revenue and staffing structures that give them the space to focus less on the money and more on the mission.

It might not be the right time if you…

⟡ Expect rapid revenue growth without investing in infrastructure
⟡ Aren’t clear what more funding would help you achieve
⟡ Want a fully done-for-you strategy without collaborative input
⟡ Are focused solely on major gifts and aren’t ready to build a more diverse or inclusive donor
⟡ Aren’t ready to invest in the systems and support your fundraising really needs

If you’re in the “not the right time” box, you can book a 90-minute strategy session with me to help you figure out where to take your fundraising from where you are now.

Wondering if fundraising consulting services are right for you?

Is this the right fit?

I’d love to work with you if you:

⟡ Are ready to invest in sustainability, not just survive another year
⟡ Have had turnover on your development team and want to build stability
⟡ Want to operationalize your fundraising and aren’t sure how
⟡ Have solid programming but need a fundraising strategy to match
⟡ Know you need to diversify your revenue but aren’t sure where to start
⟡ Want to build a culture of philanthropy that supports your organization for the long haul

Impact that Speaks for Itself

I could tell you that I’ve raised over $20M for nonprofits - but let’s be honest, that doesn’t tell you much. What really matters is the impact my work has had on organizations like yours. Here’s what real, sustainable growth has looked like for organizations I’ve worked with:

25%

INCREASE IN FOUNDATION FUNDING

for an organization that felt like they had “hit a wall” with their grants strategy.

246%

INCREASE IN INDIVIDUAL GIVING REVENUE

in just one year, after prioritizing donor stewardship and increasing targeted communications.

These aren’t just numbers—they’re the result of clear strategies, systems that work, and teams that are aligned.

These aren’t just numbers—they’re the result of clear strategies, systems that work, and teams that are aligned. See how one client grew their entire organizational budget by 54% after working together for just three months.

20%

INCREASE IN DONOR RETENTION

for an organization that was steadily losing donors and needed a new strategy to keep them engaged.
