Practical Help Tailored to Your Organization
What I Do
Most organizations don't need everything at once. What they need is someone who can look at the full picture and determine the best mix of services. Most engagements draw on more than one area — the starting point is figuring out what you genuinely need.
Organizational Assessment
Find clarity on your organization's readiness, capacity, and next best opportunities for growth.
Before anything gets built, I spend time understanding where your organization actually stands: your data, your donors, your board, and what's realistic from here.
Grant Strategy
Know which grants to pursue, when to pursue them, and how to position your organization for success.
This is the strategic thinking that makes applications competitive – identifying the right funders, prioritizing them, and shaping how your organization tells its story in a compelling way.
Major Gifts Development
Deepen relationships with donors and inspire them to give more.
Identify donors with the capacity, interest, and timing to give at a higher level and cultivate the relationships that make that support possible.
Fundraising Planning
Build a fundraising plan that aligns with your organization’s resources, capacity and goals that positions you for sustainable growth and greater impact.
A fundraising strategy organized around your real capacity, with benchmarks, timelines, and tools your team can carry forward long after the engagement ends.
Campaign Guidance
Get expert advice for your vision or long-range goal.
Determine whether the timing is right for a campaign or what steps you need to take to make this leap. When there’s a defined goal and timeline, a campaign requires its own structure, leadership, story, and sequence to succeed.
Interim & Fractional Leadership
Stay strategic through transition and growth.
When a key leadership role is vacant or your organization needs experienced part-time executive support, I can step in quickly, get up to speed, and provide steady leadership focused on the priorities that matter most.
Real World Examples
How services have come together for my clients.
After frustrating attempts to secure grants, a small nonprofit came to us concerned their mission simply wasn’t fundable. As we dug deeper—exploring the “why” behind their work — it became clear their story was much more expansive than they had been presenting.
By reframing their impact, we uncovered new funding categories and aligned opportunities. Within months, this shift led to successful grant awards and renewed confidence in their path forward.
Setting a grant strategy goes beyond providing research and a list of funding opportunities. As one organization shared, simply receiving a list can feel overwhelming — it’s hard to know where to begin.
Together, we prioritized opportunities, identified existing relationships, and mapped out clear initial steps for outreach. This strategic approach led to multiple funded proposals, including one gift that closed at three times the original request, far exceeding expectations.
