The Right Fit
Why Me
The Right Fit
Senior expertise
You get the judgment of a Director of Development or VP of Philanthropy on a project or monthly basis, without the cost of a full-time hire.
No learning curve
After years inside hospice, recovery, and human services nonprofits, I know how these organizations actually run. I can step in, find my footing quickly, and start moving the work forward.
Flexible by design
Scale up around year-end, campaigns, and grant deadlines. Ease off in quieter months. You pay for the work you need, when you need it.
Outcome-based
Every engagement is built around what it produces: clearer appeals, stronger donor relationships, and giving that grows over time. That is the standard I hold myself to.
How We Partner
Our Approach
How We Partner
Project-Based Engagements
Well suited to organizations with a defined need and a real deadline. A year-end appeal, a case for support, a grant proposal, a campaign launch. We agree on the scope, and I deliver.
Fractional Fundraising Support
For organizations that need senior development expertise on a steady basis but aren’t ready to bring on a full-time leader. On a monthly retainer, I work alongside your team as part of it.
Strategic Advisory
For executive directors and boards who want senior counsel without handing off execution. We meet regularly to think through strategy and sharpen the decisions that shape messaging and donor engagement.
