  • How do you share stories of your incredible mission, when client’s stories are traumatic?

    Sharing stories of your work and mission is critical to fundraising.. Yet, you likely need help navigating collecting and telling stories while also protecting the storyteller and preventing re-traumization.

    We use trauma-informed storytelling strategies to help gather and share personal stories in a way that prioritizes the safety, agency, and well-being of the storyteller, avoiding potential re-traumatization while still effectively communicating their experiences and impact.

Our Services

  • Usually small organizations have limited budgets for staffing, which means they end up hiring someone junior without much fundraising strategy or expeirence. That person usually ends up spending a lot of time and energy on things that are not moving things forward. Instead, with that budget you can hire a Fractional Fundraiser who brings over 10 years of fundraising experience to the table with a passion for implementation and getting it done. Our clients love this solution to help them grow strategically.

    An added benefit is that a Fractional Fundraiser require less supervision meaning less stress for the ED! Bonus!

  • A Fractional Fundraiser costs between $4,000 and $5,000 per month plus tax. Contracts start at 12 months.

  • Each organization is unique and your fundraising strategy should be unique to you. Fractional Fundraisers are fundraising generalists and can do it all - from individual giving and major gifts, to grant writing or sponsorships. The only thing we don't do are large events.

    We start each engagement with a Strategic Planning process to develop a clear fundraising plan with goals and activities to move your fundraising forward. Then, we do the work!

    Implementation means writing appeals, managing your data, working with your program team to write and submit grants, building relationships, managing sponsorships, doing social media, etc. We help you figure out which activities are a priority and then we do them. We even stuff envelopes when needed!

  • If a fundraiser or fundraising consultant offers guaranteed results, RUN. That is probably a sign they are doing something unethical.

    Fundraising success takes time and consistency. Your results depend on where you are starting and what your fundraising priorities are.

  • Here's a novel approach - we don't track hours! That's right - we focus on deliverables and outcomes. Fractional Fundraisers are experienced and efficient and take on only the amount of clients they can handle as well as how much they want to work (shocker - not everyone wants to work 60 hours/week - LOL). Our clients are delighted at the level of support they receive.
