Helping Nonprofits Grow Sustainable Donor Programs Without Hiring Full-Time Staff
We provide senior-level strategy and hands-on implementation to grow individual giving, boost donor retention, and build reliable fundraising systems.
A 90-minute working session to clarify your priorities and walk away with a fundraising roadmap.
✅Free your team’s time
✅Raise more - with less stress
✅Sleep better at night
Maxed out on capacity? You don't need to go it alone.
If your donor program is stalled or scattered, it's time to stop guessing. CCC offers a strategic entry point for nonprofit leaders who need clear direction, not more noise. Start with a one-time 90-minute coaching session to assess your current state, clarify your next steps, and decide whether deeper partnership makes sense.
Traditional support options aren’t always enough:
Hiring In-House
Small teams often can’t afford senior fundraising staff - which can mean hiring someone early in their career who needs more time, oversight, and support to succeed.
Consultant
You get a plan, but not the implementation. Without someone to manage the day-to-day work, even great strategies end up collecting dust.
A better option - tailored to your reality
Then, we offer right-sized support to implement by blending senior strategy, practical systems, and reliable execution.
We help you grow individual giving so you can focus on impact.
Your fundraising success starts with the right support: strategy that fits your goals, and experienced guidance to move it forward.
Whether you need high-level guidance or full implementation, we help grow individual giving and build donor programs that last. That includes annual appeals, monthly giving, donor stewardship, and campaign execution, backed by practical systems and data-informed planning.
Individual giving is our core focus. When aligned with your goals, we also bring in support for grants, sponsorships, or corporate fundraising through our extended team, coordinated under one strategic plan.
Based in Nova Scotia, CCC partners with nonprofits across Canada, with a special focus on organizations in Atlantic Canada. We understand the realities of small-shop fundraising and bring a grounded, regionally informed approach to every engagement.
All new engagements begin with a Strategic Fundraising Coaching Session to clarify your path before jumping into a long-term plan.
The support you need - tailored to your fundraising goals.
Every CCC engagement begins here.
All clients start with a Strategic Fundraising Coaching Session with Tanya Wall, a 90-minute deep dive to assess your donor strategy and determine the best next steps. If we mutually decide to move forward with a CCC package within 90 days, the full cost of your Strategic Fundraising Coaching Session will be applied to that engagement.
Ways to work together
All new engagements begin with a Strategic Fundraising Coaching Session. From there, we recommend the level of support that fits your goals, budget, and team capacity.
Our core paths are:
Compass – Ongoing fundraising advisory for lean teams that want senior guidance while keeping implementation in house.
Momentum – Strategy and hands-on implementation to grow individual giving and strengthen your systems.
Catalyst – Integrated fundraising and campaign support with a coordinated fundraising and creative team.

How it works
Book Your Strategy Session
Start with a 90-minute session to get clarity on your donor program, uncover missed opportunities, and identify where to focus for the most impact. You’ll complete a questionnaire beforehand so we can make the most of our time, including why now is the right time to get support.
Get a Clear, Customized Plan
We’ll clarify your goals, supporter base, and internal capacity, then recommend the right mix of strategy and implementation to move your program forward with the flexibility to meet your team’s reality.
Partner for Growth
If you move ahead, we’ll support you through a 12-month partnership that keeps your donor program focused, consistent, and growing. You stay focused on your mission and we’ll help build the revenue to sustain it.
Meet Tanya!
If you're an Executive Director or fundraising generalist at a nonprofit with $500K–$2M in annual revenue, you know the challenge: your donor program isn’t growing as it should. You have compelling stories to tell and supporters who care, but without enough time, structure, or systems, progress stalls.
That’s where we come in. I’m Tanya Wall, Founder and Principal Consultant at Collaborative Cause Consulting, a team-based fundraising practice that helps nonprofits grow individual giving through expert strategy and hands-on implementation. Together, we go beyond planning, building campaigns, designing donor journeys, and setting up the systems that keep fundraising organized, human, and effective.
With more than 20 years in fundraising and nonprofit leadership, I’ve supported teams that have raised over $30 million through campaigns, major gifts, and community giving. I hold a CFRE, a Certificate in Fundraising Management, and a degree in Community Social Services, and I’m a proud member of the Nonprofit Fractional Network.
Based in Nova Scotia, Collaborative Cause Consulting partners with nonprofits across Canada, with a special focus on small-shop fundraising in Atlantic Canada.

What to expect.
Strategic Capacity Without the Commitment
Hiring in-house is a big decision, and not always the right next step. Fractional fundraising gives you access to senior-level strategy and hands-on support, tailored to your goals. It’s a flexible way to grow your fundraising capacity without overextending your team or budget.
Your Donor Relationships, Front and Centre
Your donor relationships stay yours. We act as an extension of your team, representing your voice, values, and mission in every interaction. Our role is to strengthen those connections through thoughtful systems and consistent engagement, not to step in front of them.
Consistency That Drives Results
Sustainable growth doesn’t happen overnight. We provide steady, focused support that builds momentum and long-term value. Whether you're rebuilding a donor program or scaling what’s already working, we help you stay strategic, consistent, and aligned with your goals.
FAQs
-
Hiring in-house is a big commitment, and not always the right next step. With Collaborative Cause, you get senior-level fundraising strategy and hands-on implementation without adding a full-time position to your payroll.
You work with a senior fundraising strategist and a dedicated account manager who bring the experience of a fundraising director and supporting team on a fractional basis. That means you get focused expertise, clear priorities, and consistent follow-through, while your staff stay in the roles they do best.

All new client work starts with a Strategic Fundraising Coaching Session, a 90 minute working call with Tanya that costs 999 dollars plus HST. If we both decide to move forward within 90 days, that fee is applied to your engagement.
Ongoing support is structured in three main paths, most often as renewable 12 month partnerships:
Compass: advisory and coaching for lean teams, starting at 2,500 dollars per month plus HST
Momentum: strategy and hands-on implementation to grow individual giving, starting at 4,500 dollars per month plus HST
Catalyst: integrated fundraising and campaign support with a coordinated fundraising and creative team, starting at 9,500 dollars per month plus HST
During your Strategy Session and follow up, we recommend the level of support that fits your goals, capacity, and budget, and provide a clear scope and fee before you make any decisions.
Our ongoing support is best suited for organizations that currently raise at least 25,000 dollars per year in individual giving and have a lapsed donor file to re-engage. -
Every engagement begins with a focused Groundwork and Strategic Fundraising Plan phase. We review your current revenue mix, assess your donor program, and create a practical roadmap for the next 12 to 18 months.
We specialize in helping organizations strengthen or scale their individual giving programs. That can include:
Annual giving and multi-channel campaigns
Monthly giving and retention strategies
Mid-level and major donor cultivation
Peer-to-peer or community-based fundraising where it supports your goals
Depending on the level of support you choose, our work can also include:
Direct mail and digital campaign planning and execution
Donor journey mapping, stewardship touches, and one-to-one outreach
Fundraising calendars, reporting, and strategy reviews for leadership and board
Throughout, we make sure you have the right systems to support the work, such as:
CRM audits and optimization
Workflow automation and systems improvements
Tools and processes that reduce errors and save time
-
Our core focus is individual giving and the systems that support it. That is where we bring the most value in helping you grow sustainable, relationship based revenue.
Fundraising does not happen in isolation. When your plan includes grants, events, or corporate partnerships, we fold those elements into your overall strategy and, where needed, coordinate support through trusted collaborators from our extended network. You still work through Collaborative Cause as your single point of contact, with one aligned plan and clear communication.
If we recommend bringing in a grant, events, or corporate specialist, we will talk through scope and budget with you first so everything is clear and grounded in your overall fundraising plan.
-
We cannot promise specific dollar amounts or donor numbers. No ethical fundraiser can. Fundraising is about building trust, and that takes time, consistency, and the right approach.
What we can promise is to be your committed partner. We bring senior-level strategy, consistent follow-through, and a values-aligned approach that keeps your long-term growth front and centre. When we work together, you will not feel like you are carrying your fundraising program alone.
-
As a fractional partner, you have us for a portion of the time and cost of a full-time hire, but we do not track our work by the hour. Instead, we scope each engagement around clear outcomes and responsibilities, then work steadily toward your agreed priorities.
Each partnership includes a consistent rhythm of strategy, planning, and implementation. Some weeks may involve more hands-on work, such as campaign execution or system changes. Others may be lighter and focus on planning, analysis, or reporting.
You have a senior fundraising strategist providing direction and a dedicated account manager coordinating day to day work. We will keep you informed through regular check ins and updates, so you always know where your fundraising stands and what is coming next, without needing to watch a timesheet.
