Fundraising Problems I Solve

You already know something isn't working. Here's how I help fix it.

Services Built Around the Problem

Start With What Isn’t Working

Each engagement connects a specific fundraising problem to the strategy, systems, and leadership support needed to solve it.

Stalled Strategies & Revenue Growth

The Problem

Your campaign is stuck, your event is getting smaller, and you feel like the well of opportunity is getting shallower.

What This Includes

  • Campaign strategy and readiness assessment
  • Donor acquisition and cultivation plans
  • Redesign for events that have lost momentum
From the ResultsSee how a stalled $15M campaign closed its final $2M gap.

Getting Ready for New Revenue

Corporate giving, foundation grants, and new program builds

The Problem

You want to launch a corporate giving program or go after foundation grants, but there's no foundation in place: no materials, no consistent data, no stories, no prospect pipeline, and no trained team.

What This Includes

  • Case-for-support materials
  • Prospect and pipeline development
  • Staff training to execute and sustain the program
  • Positioning and readiness work before the first ask goes out
From the ResultsSee how a small association went from $250K to $1.2M by building the structure first.

Data, Pipeline & Systems You Can Trust

The Problem

Your CRM is a mess or barely used, you don’t trust your reports, and your board wants better clarity and consistency from your fundraising.

What This Includes

  • CRM audit and architecture
  • Pipeline validation and moves management systems
  • Reporting templates that leadership and the board can trust
  • Salesforce and Raiser's Edge expertise
From the ResultsSee how a fragmented pipeline became a single trusted source for board reporting.

Boards & Teams That Are Trained, Aligned, and Actually Fundraising

The Problem

Your board is well-suited to oversight but not built for fundraising. Your development team has talent but lacks coordination or a shared vision. As a result, fundraising results are inconsistent and budgeting is shaky because of it.

What This Includes

  • Board fundraising training, guidelines development, and give-get policy design
  • Committee restructuring
  • Team coordination and portfolio realignment
  • Leadership coaching for EDs managing a development function
From the ResultsSee how coordination replaced chaos and delivered four straight years above goal.

How Engagements Work

Work Sized to the Problem

Every engagement starts with naming the actual problem, then sizing the work to fit it.

01

Focused Project

Weeks to a few months

A defined problem, a clear scope, and a clear endpoint.

02

Ongoing Partnership

Months to a year or more

Deeper, sustained work across strategy, systems, and teams.

Most clients start with a single focused problem. Some stay there. Others keep going.
