Fundraising Consulting Services for Nonprofit Leaders who want to scale without burning out
Survival Mode Isn't a Nonprofit Fundraising Strategy.
You didn’t get into this work to constantly chase funding.
You got into this work because you care about your 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 build your nonprofit fundraising plan together
You need a partner who is in the work with you, helping you set direction, take action, solve problems as they come up, and build systems that actually fit your organization.
This work isn’t one-size-fits-all. Together, we focus on what will move fundraising forward in a way your team can actually sustain — and then do the work to put systems in place so that you’re set up for the long term.
Most clients come to me during moments of transition — when they’re ready to hire fundraising staff for the first time, when a Development Director has just left, or when there’s new leadership, and they need to stabilize their fundraising. In those moments, they need hands-on support to move forward.
A typical client engagement includes:
Getting clear on what’s actually working and what’s quietly draining time, energy, and morale in your fundraising
Narrowing your focus so that you can stop trying to do everything and start doing what will make a difference
Building and implementing a fundraising plan together
Setting priorities and aligning roles and expectations so that fundraising doesn’t keep falling on one person
Creating systems that reduce burnout and give your team a reason to stay.
When we work together, you gain clarity, momentum, and a fundraising approach that feels possible and realistic.
I work with clients for a minimum of three months, with pricing starting at $4,000 per month. Some organizations work with me short-term to get focused; others choose longer partnerships for deeper work and ongoing support.
Nonprofit Fundraising Strategy Meets Nonprofit Staff Retention.
There are a lot of fundraising consultants out there. I’m the only one who treats staff retention as part of the fundraising strategy.
Most nonprofits don't lose their fundraising momentum because of a bad strategy. They lose it because the person carrying that strategy burned out and left. And then you start over. Again.
Staff turnover doesn't just hurt your team. It sets your fundraising back by years.
That’s exactly what I help you fix.
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 base
⟡ Aren’t ready to invest in the systems and support your fundraising really needs
If now isn’t the right time, you can book a 90-minute strategy session to help you get clear on next steps.
Is this the right nonprofit fundraising strategy for your organization?
A note on fit: My clients are typically nonprofits with annual budgets between $1M and $10M that have been operating for at least three years. If that’s not you yet, I’m building something just for you. Sign up for my newsletter to know when it launches!
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
Here’s what changes when you have a real nonprofit fundraising strategy
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.
20%
INCREASE IN DONOR RETENTION
for an organization that was steadily losing donors and needed a new strategy to keep them engaged.
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 budget by 54% after working together for just three months.
Real Nonprofits, Real Results
