Services

Over the past two decades, I’ve partnered with nonprofits of all sizes to strengthen their fundraising efforts, build meaningful donor relationships, and grow revenue with smart, energizing support. Whether you’re a solo executive director juggling it all, a seasoned development leader facing a tough moment, or a team ready to level up — I offer tailored services that meet you where you are and help you move forward with momentum. Every engagement is rooted in thoughtful analysis, bold ideas, and hands-on partnership that aligns with your values and your voice. Explore the options below to find the right fit for your goals, your team, and your moment.

Development Advisory Partnership

For organizations or leaders that need a thought partner or strategic lens on their fundraising efforts, this service offers consistent, experienced development guidance without the overhead of a full-time hire. I’ve designed this collaborative engagement to build both capacity and confidence. Flexible, insightful, and tailored to your needs — it’s like having a development director, coach, and cheerleader in your corner to support the most critical pain point you have at a given moment.

  • Each month, we meet for a 60-minute strategy session to identify what’s challenging you — whether it’s donor cultivation, campaign planning, team performance, or something else entirely. We’ll diagnose the root issue together and define a short-term action plan, and I’ll provide streamlined follow-up support to move your plan of action forward with skill and momentum. It’s designed to offer a smart, right-sized dose of strategic expertise — and exactly when you need it. Together we define the fundraising priorities, and I bring the firepower to help you close.

  • This service is ideal for executive directors and senior development staff who are navigating complex fundraising challenges without the time, team, or clarity to solve them alone. Whether you're leading a small shop without a dedicated fundraiser, chasing ambitious goals without a clear roadmap, or simply feeling stuck under the weight of competing priorities — this partnership offers momentum, perspective, and grounded expertise. It's especially valuable for leaders who crave an external sounding board to help transform uncertainty into focused action. If you’re doing the best you can with what you’ve got — and know you could go further with the right kind of support — this was built for you.

Fractional Frontline Fundraising

When your organization needs experienced, professional fundraising support — but not a full-time hire — I step in as your part-time, frontline fundraiser to drive donor engagement and gift acquisition. As a trusted extension of your team, I connect with donors on your behalf, make the ask, and help secure the funding you need to move your mission forward.

  • This is a hands-on, externally facing role designed to advance your most pressing and high-impact fundraising goals. As your fractional fundraiser, I embed with your team for a defined number of hours each month and serve as an active frontline solicitor. Whether you need support stewarding major donors, re-engaging lapsed supporters, refining grant applications, qualifying first-time givers, presenting to potential corporate sponsors, or advancing a campaign — I bring the strategy, confidence, and experience to make the ask with integrity and alignment to your voice and values – making solicitations independently or in partnership with your leadership team.

  • This service is ideal for organizations with ambitious goals and limited internal capacity for frontline fundraising. It’s especially helpful for lean teams, newer nonprofits, or executive directors who are juggling too many hats who need a seasoned fundraiser to step in and help make the ask. If you know where the money is — and who your prospective supporters are — but don’t have the time or team to pursue them, fractional fundraising may be the boost you need.

Development SOS Intensive

When your fundraising efforts hit a wall — a campaign falls flat, donor relationships stall, or a key staff member leaves unexpectedly — this service is your rapid-response solution. Development SOS Intensive offers immediate, focused, embedded support to assess what’s going wrong, stabilize the situation, and chart a path forward. It’s built for organizations who are feeling the pressure and need expert help, fast.

  • Over the course of 2.5 weeks, we’ll move quickly and collaboratively to triage the issue at hand. I’ll dive in to understand what’s not working, develop a short-term action plan, and provide hands-on support to help execute it. Whether you're preparing for a high-stakes donor meeting, navigating a fundraising team transition, or trying to revive a floundering campaign, I bring solutions, clarity, and a get-it-done mindset. Along the way, I’ll surface any deeper root causes and leave you with recommendations to strengthen your systems long after the fire drill ends.

  • This intensive is ideal for nonprofits in the middle of a fundraising crunch, crisis, or turning point. It’s especially useful for executive directors or development leads who are overwhelmed, under-resourced, or unsure what to do next — but know that inaction isn’t an option. If you need immediate traction and a clear plan to move forward, this short-term engagement can bring the relief and results you’re looking for.

Bespoke Development Projects

Some projects need a custom touch — a specific goal, challenge, or deliverable that doesn’t fit into a standard scope. This service offers flexible, one-time or time-bound support to help you move a key fundraising initiative across the finish line. From refining your case for support to building a donor pipeline or designing board trainings, we’ll tackle the project that matters most to you — with focus, care, and follow-through.

  • We’ll start by scoping the project together to define what success looks like and how best to get there. I bring a mix of strategic guidance and practical execution, adapting to your team’s capacity and timeline. Whether you need behind-the-scenes support or an active project lead, I’ll deliver thoughtful, right-sized solutions that align with your voice, values, and fundraising priorities. No cut-and-paste templates — just targeted work that’s tailored to your goals.

  • This service is ideal for organizations that need expert fundraising support on a specific project but don’t want or need an ongoing engagement. It’s especially helpful for teams that are short on time, clarity, or capacity — but still want high-quality work and a strategic thought partner to bring it to life. If you know what you want to get done but don’t have the bandwidth to do it well, I’m here to help make it happen.
