Senior-level strategy and hands-on implementation to grow individual giving, boost donor retention, and build reliable fundraising systems.
A 30-minute call to discuss your needs and see if we’re a fit.
✅Free your team’s time
✅Raise more - with less stress
✅Sleep better at night
Maxed out on capacity? There’s still donor potential waiting.
Your team is stretched to the limit. You’ve used every hour and every skill—but promising donors still go unengaged, and important follow‑ups slip.
Hiring in‑house can be a great long‑term step, but it’s a big commitment to budget, onboarding, and management. Our fractional model brings senior strategy and reliable implementation without adding headcount—so you see progress sooner.
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
Our model blends senior strategy, hands-on delivery, and flexible support to meet your needs without the complexity of hiring in-house.
Let us take the weight of fundraising off your shoulders!
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 event 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.
The support you need - tailored to your fundraising goals.
We offer three structured ways to work together based on your current stage and fundraising needs: Momentum, Compass, and Groundwork.

Meet Tanya!
If you’re an Executive Director or fundraising generalist at a nonprofit with $500K–$2M in annual revenue, you already 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 I come in. I’m Tanya Wall, Founder and Principal Consultant at Collaborative Cause Consulting. My team helps nonprofits grow individual giving through expert strategy and hands-on implementation. We go beyond planning - we implement campaigns, design donor journeys, and get your CRM systems ready to support your fundraising goals.
With 20+ years of fundraising and nonprofit leadership experience, I’ve led teams that have raised over $30M through campaigns, major gifts, and community fundraising. I hold a CFRE, a Certificate in Fundraising Management, and diplomas in Child & Youth Work and Social Service Work. I’m also a member of the Nonprofit Fractional Network.
What to expect.
Strategic Capacity Without the Commitment
Hiring in-house is a major decision - and not always the right next step for every organization. Fractional fundraising gives you access to experienced, senior-level support tailored to your individual giving goals. It’s a flexible way to grow your fundraising capacity with less strain on your team and timeline.
Your Donor Relationships, Front and Centre
Your donor relationships stay yours. We act as an extension of your team, bringing your voice, values, and mission to 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 offer steady, focused support that builds momentum and delivers long-term value. Whether you’re rebuilding a donor program or scaling one that’s working, we help you stay consistent, strategic, and aligned with your goals.
FAQs
-
Fractional fundraising gives you senior-level expertise without the cost, complexity, and management burden of hiring full-time. For many smaller teams, an in-house budget only covers a junior role — someone who still needs direction and may not have the experience to grow your individual giving program effectively.
Our model gives you access to senior fundraising strategy and implementation — often at a cost comparable to an entry- or mid-level staff member. You’re matched with a dedicated consultant based on your goals, and support can scale as your needs evolve.
Because we work as an external team, there’s no need to recruit, onboard, or manage additional staff. Clients often say they feel both relief and momentum — knowing their donor program is in capable hands without adding pressure to their team.

How we work
Each engagement is led by a senior consultant matched to your needs, with strategic oversight from Tanya or another CCC lead. Day-to-day implementation is handled by your primary consultant, with additional support from digital, CRM, or campaign specialists as needed. You get the strength of a coordinated team—without the complexity of hiring and managing new staff. -
Our core focus is individual giving and the systems that support it—where we bring the most value in helping you grow sustainable, donor-centered revenue.
That said, fundraising doesn’t happen in isolation. If your plan includes grants, events, or corporate partnerships, we can coordinate those elements through trusted collaborators from our extended network. You’ll still work through Collaborative Cause as your single point of contact, ensuring one aligned, integrated plan.
Any additional costs for these services are scoped to your needs and clearly outlined before work begins.
-
We can’t 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: bringing 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’ll never feel like you’re carrying your fundraising program alone.
-
As a fractional partner, you’ll have us for a portion of the time (and cost) of a full-time hire. We don’t track by the hour - instead, we work toward your agreed-upon priorities, with the time invested varying depending on the stage of your plan.
Some weeks may involve more hands-on implementation (such as campaign execution), while others may be lighter and focus on planning or analysis. What’s consistent is our senior-level oversight, strategic direction, and steady progress toward your goals.
We’ll keep you informed so you always know where your fundraising stands and what’s coming next.
