Need to expand your fundraising efforts but aren’t sure where to start? Start here.

A short-term engagement, typically 6-8 weeks, during which I will review your existing fundraising activities and evaluate your organization’s readiness to expand. During this process, I will ask for and review a number of documents, including financial statements, budgets, previously submitted grants (if any), appeals, and other donor communications.

Typical deliverables include a development plan with recommended activities, timelines, and projected revenues for:

• Fundraising appeals
• Grants and LOIs
• Major donor cultivation and stewardship activities
• Newsletters and other communications
• Development operations processes

Rates start at $6,000 for organizations with budgets of $500,000 or less.

Whether you’re transitioning from your founder, hiring your first full-time ED or DoD, or replacing a long-term leader, hiring a transitional ED or DoD can make the process easier.

Similar to a full fundraising assessment, but focused just on your major gifts program—or the space where one belongs! Jump-starting your first major gifts effort can feel intimidating. I can make it easier. Plan on an 8 week process, starting at $6,000 for organizations with budgets of $500,000 or less.

If you need a new development database but don’t have time to manage the process, I can help—from finding a CRM that meets your needs all the way through managing the data migration, training your staff, and documenting best practices.

Not every nonprofit needs a full-time fundraiser! Whether you need a fractional CDO or an occasional grantwriter, I can fill the gaps in your staffing in a way that’s flexible and responsive to your needs. This might include:

• Grantwriting and research
• Major gifts consultations
• Staff management and mentorship
• Event planning
• Content creation (paper, email, web)

There’s more to being an Executive Director than fundraising. Maybe I can help.
