Five pillars. One strategic seat.
Note
I built my practice around what I've seen help nonprofits most over fifteen years inside the work. Each pillar can stand alone, but they're designed to function as one integrated practice for Executive Directors, boards, and staff leaders.
Organizational Strategy & Planning
A clear, written direction for the organization, built from an honest look at where you are and where you're headed.
- →Comprehensive organizational assessment
- →Mission, program, and revenue alignment
- →12-month strategic roadmap
- →Prioritization frameworks
- →Program evaluation and refinement
- →Impact and outcomes structure
“This is almost always where I start. A strong strategic plan exists in most organizations. My job is to bring the day-to-day decisions back into alignment with it so the whole team moves in the same direction.”
Outcomes- ✦A clear organizational direction
- ✦Alignment across mission, programs, and revenue
- ✦Confidence and focus across leadership
- ✦A roadmap that guides decisions and growth
Revenue Model & Fundraising Strategy
A realistic, diversified revenue model aligned with the organization's capacity and long-term goals, built to grow on.
- →Revenue model analysis
- →Fundraising strategy development
- →Donor segmentation and journey mapping
- →Grant strategy and prioritization
- →Sponsorship and partnership strategy
- →Annual, seasonal, and campaign planning
“I build the revenue plan that actually matches your team, your time, and the relationships you already have, then we grow it together, deliberately and sustainably.”
Outcomes- ✦A clear, achievable revenue plan
- ✦Stronger donor and funder alignment
- ✦Predictable fundraising rhythms
- ✦A diversified, sustainable revenue model
Systems Design & Infrastructure
The operational backbone that turns intention into weekly movement: CRM, pipelines, workflows, and reporting.
- →CRM setup, cleanup, or optimization
- →Grant pipeline design
- →Donor stewardship systems
- →Reporting frameworks
- →Internal workflows and accountability
- →Data and documentation systems
“After fifteen years of running departments, I've learned that great teams thrive when the systems around them are designed to support the work. That's what we build here.”
Outcomes- ✦Predictable weekly movement
- ✦Clear responsibilities and workflows
- ✦Accurate data and reporting
- ✦A fundraising system that runs consistently
Executive Partnership & Advisory
A weekly or bi-weekly strategic thought partner for Executive Directors, senior staff, or board leaders shaping major decisions.
- →Weekly or bi-weekly strategy sessions
- →Decision support and prioritization
- →Leadership alignment
- →Board communication guidance
- →Scenario planning
- →Accountability and momentum
“Most leaders I work with don't need more advice. They want one steady partner who understands how the whole organization fits together, and who can think out loud with them before a decision lands on the board.”
Outcomes- ✦A supported, focused leadership team
- ✦Better decisions made with clarity
- ✦Stronger alignment between staff and board
- ✦Stronger organizational leadership
Fractional Strategy & Development Leadership
The signature engagement: part-time strategic leadership that owns the function end-to-end alongside your team.
- →Ongoing strategic leadership
- →Oversight of fundraising systems
- →Grant pipeline management
- →Donor development and stewardship
- →Sponsorship outreach
- →Campaign planning and execution
- →Program and revenue alignment
- →Light staff or board coordination
“I built this engagement for the organizations I kept meeting: ones ready for a senior strategy and development leader before they're ready to hire one full-time. So I built the seat, and I sit in it, with your team.”
Outcomes- ✦A functioning strategy + development department
- ✦Predictable revenue movement
- ✦Clear organizational direction
- ✦A leadership team supported and set up to win
Not sure which pillar fits your organization?
Most engagements begin with a clarity conversation. From there, we shape the right scope together.
