FRACTIONAL DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
Experienced fundraising leadership, without the full-time hire.
Senior fundraising leadership, part-time, for organizations that need a development director but don’t yet have the budget for a full-time hire. I lead your fundraising strategy, coach your executive director, manage development and marketing staff and volunteers where needed, and serve as the link between your staff and board.
This is for you if:
You’re a small or mid-sized nonprofit with an established mission and a fundraising program that hasn’t kept pace.
You have a committed executive director who wants a true partner in fundraising.
Your board and volunteers are engaged and ready to support the work.
You have at least one administrative staff member in place.
GRANT PLANNING & PIPELINE MANAGEMENT
The right grants, researched, written, and submitted.
A steady, strategic grant program, managed from research to submission. I build and maintain your grants calendar, identify opportunities that fit your programs, bring you recommendations, and write and submit proposals on your behalf.
This is for you if:
Your operating budget is steady, and you need funding for programs, capacity building, or capital projects like new equipment or renovations.
You want your work presented to funders clearly and convincingly.
You’d like lasting relationships with funders, beyond one-time applications.
Your executive director and program staff can share what’s needed and where the gaps are.
EVENT PLANNING
Bring people together for a shared purpose.
Fundraising and community events for 30 to 300 guests, from galas to intimate gatherings. I set realistic goals, manage committees and volunteers, coordinate with your staff and board, and see every detail through to event day.
This is for you if:
You want to raise general operating funds while bringing your community together.
You’re looking to meet new donors and deepen relationships with current ones.
Board members and volunteers are ready to serve on committees.
You have staff who can support outreach and promotion.
MAJOR DONOR CULTIVATION & CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT
Build the relationships behind your next fundraising goal.
A clear strategy for your most important relationships and your biggest asks. I develop major gift and campaign plans, prepare your leadership and board for donor conversations, and manage cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship from start to finish.
This is for you if:
Your board knows people who could make significant gifts, and those conversations need a plan.
Your leadership is ready to work together on strategy and follow-through.
You want donors who give again and stay connected for years.
You’re preparing for a capital campaign, annual appeal, or major gift initiative.
KIND WORDS FROM CLIENTS
The people I work with say it best.
HOW IT WORKS
A clear process, whatever the goal.
01
Assess and Prioritize
We start by understanding your organization: your goals, your team, your current fundraising, and the resources you have to work with. Then we identify the opportunities most likely to pay off.
02
Plan and Build
Together, we create a realistic plan with clear goals, timelines, and responsibilities, and put the systems in place to support it.
03
Implement and Grow
I put the plan into action alongside your team, track progress, and adjust as we go, building fundraising that grows stronger each year.
