The smart way to grow your fundraising capacity
You don’t need to build an in-house fundraising department to grow your revenue. You just need the right support.
Our fractional fundraising service gives you consistent, high-impact support from a dedicated fundraising manager - at a fraction of the time and a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time, director-level fundraiser.
Your fundraising manager works as part of your team to implement your strategy, manage donor engagement, and run your campaigns - backed by a senior strategist and a team of specialists in digital fundraising, communications, and systems.
Strategic Fundraising Plan
We start with a custom fundraising plan developed by a senior strategist. It aligns with your mission, goals, and internal capacity—and sets the roadmap for the work ahead.
Plan Implementation
Your dedicated fundraising manager implements the plan! They coordinate campaigns, steward donors, manage data, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Specialized Support
Behind your fundraising manager is a team of experts in digital fundraising, peer-to-peer, donor communications, CRMs, and social media for fundraising campaigns.
Services may include:
Annual giving and monthly donor programs
Peer-to-peer or campaign-based fundraising
Donor stewardship and retention strategies
Major gifts pipeline development
Digital fundraising and email campaigns
Fundraising materials and messaging support

FAQs
-
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!

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.
