Services
Practical support, fundraising expertise, and strategic counsel for organizations pursuing ambitious goals.
Capital Campaigns and Fundraising Strategy
Bold visions require the right plan, messaging, and counsel to become reality.
From early campaign planning and feasibility studies to day-to-day campaign counsel, I support organizations through every phase of a capital campaign. Over my career, I have supported dozens of organizations and helped raise more than $50 million (and counting).
This work is for organizations that want to:
Assess readiness for a capital campaign
Clarify campaign goals, develop a case for support, and create a campaign plan
Engage board and campaign leadership with confidence
Navigate complex stakeholder dynamics and decision points
What you can expect:
Clear, realistic campaign strategies grounded in your organization’s culture and capacity
Thoughtful donor messaging and engagement approaches
A tailored (not templated) plan that unpacks the process in actionable steps
A senior-level fundraising partner working alongside you every step of the way
Strategic and Business Planning
I support organizations through strategic and business planning processes that are practical, inclusive, and designed to be used. The goal isn’t a document that sits on a shelf, but shared clarity that guides decisions, priorities, and resource development—and can be put into action immediately.
Strategic and Business planning support may include:
Landscape analysis
Organizational assessment
Community and stakeholder interviews and engagement
Facilitation of board and staff planning sessions
Clarifying plan goals, priorities, and key success metrics
Designing an implementation framework with roles and timelines assigned
The result:
Greater alignment across the organization
Clear priorities that guide fundraising, programming, and growth, informed by key stakeholders
An implementation framework your team can actually put to work
Leadership Fundraising Counsel
For many new executive directors and nonprofit leaders, stepping into fundraising leadership can feel like a new role within an already demanding job. I provide practical coaching and strategic counsel to help leaders build the knowledge, confidence, and habits to make fundraising an effective part of executive leadership.
Support includes a grounding in fundraising fundamentals, clarity around the executive’s role in fundraising, and a practical fundraising roadmap to follow, with continued counsel to support implementation—including donor and prospect strategy, board engagement, solicitation preparation, and guidance as fundraising opportunities and challenges arise.
