Fractional Fundraising
Your situation? We are a growing nonprofit organization that needs an experienced development director or fundraising professional, but we can't afford someone full-time.
Our solution: Fractional Fundraising
Bring over 20 years of frontline fundraising, grant writing, and smaller shop experience to your organization with an affordable, hands-on team member - at a fraction of the cost of a full-time development director.
Our dedicated support includes regular meetings with your leadership and team to provide guidance and support throughout the fundraising process, ensuring you have an experienced partner when making key decisions.
We conduct a comprehensive assessment and in-depth evaluation of your nonprofit’s existing fundraising resources, performance, ecosystem, and landscape to identify strengths and opportunities for sustainable growth.
Our wide range of tailored services includes planning, grant writing, major gift strategies, appeal guidance, budget review, research, and data analysis, all customized to your organization's unique needs and mission.
We are committed to delivering measurable results and maximizing your return on investment through relationship-driven plans, regular progress tracking, and continuous optimization.
Starting at $4,000/month for established U.S. nonprofit organizations.
As your experienced nonprofit fundraising partner, we provide the expertise you need without the overhead of a full-time hire. Whether you're seeking interim development support, building your first fundraising program, or looking to expand your existing donor base, we specialize in helping nonprofits in the arts, humanities, cultural, creative, social justice, and education sectors build sustainable fundraising programs. Fractional fundraising is ideal for small to mid-size nonprofits seeking professional fundraising leadership.
Fundraising Essentials for Small Nonprofits
Your situation? We are a small nonprofit with 0-3 staff members that needs experienced fundraising guidance but can't justify hiring development staff. We want to raise more money but need help knowing where to focus our limited time and resources.

Expert feedback between sessions on your fundraising materials and donor communications, helping you implement proven nonprofit fundraising best practices with confidence.
Access to tested fundraising tools, templates, and resources to help your team work efficiently in areas like annual giving, donor stewardship, and digital fundraising.
While your team handles implementation, we serve as your experienced fundraising coach, helping you evaluate opportunities and focus efforts where they'll have the greatest impact.
Ongoing guidance on development strategies, donor materials, prospect research, and relationship building to create sustainable fundraising success.
Specialized support for arts, humanities, cultural, creative, social justice, and education nonprofits seeking to build sustainable fundraising practices without the cost of additional staff.

Your situation? Our small nonprofit is motivated to do our first (or next) campaign, but we don't know where to begin! We need more resources and guidance from someone who has been there.
