Stuck in a Fundraising Rut?
I see you: working tirelessly to find funding for your mission — trying everything from events to grant applications to hiring help. But it can feel like you’re always running to keep up, and the results never match the effort.
Your organization relies heavily on grants or short-term funding.
Fundraising feels fragmented, reactive, or stuck in people’s heads.
You don’t have a dedicated fundraiser, or your team is stretched thin.
You want to build sustainable, relationship-based individual giving.
You’re ready to invest in systems that support long-term growth.
Here’s what might be happening:
No Solid Starting Point: Without a strong system for annual and monthly giving, it’s hard to create reliable, unrestricted revenue from individual and corporate donors.
Limited Capacity: You’ve done your best with the resources you have, but it can feel impossible to tackle all the fundraising tasks without the right tools or expertise.
Grant Dependency: Relying on grants is exhausting and often leaves you with
restricted funds and little room to grow.
I help nonprofits put the right fundraising infrastructure in place so things stop falling through the cracks.
