Strategic Fundraising Advisory

Strategic Fundraising Advisory Subscription

Most nonprofits do not need a full-time fundraising leader. They need one to three hours a month with someone who has sat in that chair.

Something in between

After about 10 years in fundraising, the same sentence kept arriving from small and mid-sized nonprofit and higher-ed leaders: we cannot afford an experienced fundraising leader. But we also cannot afford to keep guessing.

So he built something in between.

The subscription

What it is for

  • Pressure-testing your fundraising plan before it goes to the board
  • A second set of eyes on major gift strategy, case for support, or campaign readiness
  • An outside perspective when internal politics make honest conversation hard
  • Keeping development priorities from quietly sliding for another quarter

Not staffing. Not a coaching program.

This is not fractional staffing and it is not a coaching program. It is a small, predictable amount of senior-level fundraising strategy built into your year, so the big decisions get made with clarity instead of urgency.

If your organization has the ambition but not the bandwidth for a full advancement hire, this is built for you.

The work

Every offer is a different shape of the same practice: senior judgment, held quietly, in Charlotte, NC, and Remote.

Questions leaders ask first

What is included?

20 to 30 hours a year, roughly one to three hours a month, at $250 per hour, billed monthly with an annual subscription and commitment. A standing strategic touchpoint. Not a coaching program.

Is this fractional fundraising?

No. Fractional fundraising is when he does the advancement work with you. This subscription is a small, predictable amount of senior-level fundraising strategy built into the year.

Who is it for?

Small and mid-sized nonprofit and higher-ed leaders who cannot afford an experienced fundraising leader, and cannot afford to keep guessing. Ambition without bandwidth for a full advancement hire.

A conversation, not a pitch

If this resonates, the next step is a short, private discussion to determine whether the work fits your context, whether the timing is right, and whether the chemistry makes sense. If it does, we proceed. If it does not, we part cleanly.
