Strategic Fundraising Support for Moments That Matter

I work with a small number of nonprofit organizations each year to provide clear, disciplined fundraising strategy during periods of growth, transition, and campaign readiness.

My work is designed for organizations that are ready to move forward—but need clarity, structure, and experienced guidance to do so effectively.

Engagements are focused, intentional, and built to produce meaningful outcomes—not ongoing, open-ended consulting.

Core Engagements

A comprehensive engagement to assess campaign readiness, test assumptions, and build a clear, actionable roadmap.

This work goes beyond a traditional feasibility study—combining stakeholder insight with practical strategy so you leave with a plan you can confidently execute.

This is a strong fit if you:

  • Are considering or preparing for a capital campaign

  • Need to validate a campaign goal and approach

  • Want to align leadership before launching a major effort

  • Have momentum, but lack a clear strategy or structure

Engagement includes:

  • Campaign readiness assessment

  • Stakeholder and donor interviews

  • Evaluation of fundraising capacity and internal systems

  • Preliminary goal setting and gift range development

  • Case for support and messaging framework

  • Campaign structure and phasing strategy

  • Leadership roles and expectations

  • Identification of risks, gaps, and key opportunities

Key outcome:
A clear, customized campaign roadmap outlining strategy, structure, and next steps.

Ongoing strategic leadership to guide campaign planning and execution—without the cost or complexity of a full-time senior hire.

This role provides consistency, accountability, and experienced direction while strengthening your internal capacity.

This is a strong fit if you:

  • Are actively preparing for or in a campaign

  • Need sustained strategic guidance and momentum

  • Want a collaborative partner for leadership and decision-making

  • Value structure, clarity, and accountability

Scope may include:

  • Campaign planning and oversight

  • Major gifts strategy and pipeline development

  • Board and leadership engagement strategy

  • Development staff support and coaching

  • Ongoing refinement of campaign strategy and messaging

  • Progress tracking and accountability

Structure:
Monthly retainer with clearly defined scope and cadence.

High-level guidance for experienced nonprofit leaders who want a trusted thought partner.

This is a focused, low-lift engagement designed for organizations with internal capacity that benefit from experienced perspective.

This is a strong fit for:

  • Executive Directors and Development Leaders

  • Organizations navigating complex decisions or transitions

  • Teams that want strategic input without a full engagement

Includes:

  • 1–2 structured conversations per month

  • Document review and template creation

  • Strategic input on fundraising, campaigns, and planning

  • Ongoing access for focused questions

HOW THIS DIFFERS FROM TRADITIONAL CONSULTING

Hello!
  • Best suited for organizations that:

    • Are preparing for or executing a capital campaign

    • Are in a period of growth, transition, or strategic inflection

    • Have engaged leadership and internal ownership

    • Are ready to invest in strategy before execution

    Not a fit for organizations that:

    • Are seeking event support or tactical execution only

    • Do not have internal leadership engagement

    • Are not yet ready to invest in structured planning

My approach is intentionally different.

  • Focused over expansive

  • Strategic and tactical

  • Time-bound or clearly scoped

  • Designed to build internal capacity

What to Expect

  • A limited client load to ensure focus and responsiveness

  • Clear scope, structure, and outcomes

  • Consistent, scheduled communication

  • Honest, experienced guidance grounded in real-world campaign work

  • A partnership approach with shared accountability
