Let me do the heavy lifting in your fundraising program

You've reached your fundraising capacity
Your current team is maxed out in their capacity to raise money. If you want to increase your fundraising revenue, you need to hire help. But it’s not that easy!
Traditional support options just aren't cutting it:
Hiring In-House
Small budget means inexperienced staff who require more effort and time to manage.
Consultant
Strategic direction without implementation means a “plan” sits on a computer for 3 years and your big investment goes down the drain.
It's time to try a more contemporary choice!

It's simple - let me run your fundraising program. That's right - eliminate the stress and overwhelm of trying to "do it all" and let me, Fractional Fundraiser, manage the day-to-day of your fundraising needs.

What to expect
Risk free, results oriented
Hiring in-house comes with a lot of risk and not much reward. Just imagine getting better fundraising results without hiring staff, providing space for them, and managing their day-to-day activities. Forget staff turnover or only hiring someone “your budget can afford”. We provide the best in small-shop fundraising at a budget you can afford, taking away your risk.
Your relationships
We respect the work you’ve already put into building your relationships and they will always stay with your organization. When we act on your behalf, we’re representing your organization. We do not bring donors to your organization, nor do we take them with us when we leave.
Consistency for your ROI
Fundraising success takes time and consistency. Your results depend on where you are starting and what your fundraising priorities are. When is the right time to make this investment? That depends on your ambitions for your organization. A Fractional Fundraiser exists to make the most of your investment.
FAQs
Usually small organizations have limited budgets for staffing, which means they end up hiring someone junior without much fundraising strategy or experience. 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!
A Fractional Fundraiser costs between $4,000 and $5,000 per month plus tax. Contracts start at 12 months.
Each organization is unique and your fundraising strategy should be unique to you. Fractional Fundraisers are fundraising generalists and can do it all - from individual giving and major gifts, to grant writing or sponsorships. The only thing we don't do are large events. We start each engagement with a Strategic Planning process to develop a clear fundraising plan with goals and activities to move your fundraising forward. Then, we do the work! Implementation means writing appeals, managing your data, working with your program team to write and submit grants, building relationships, managing sponsorships, doing social media, etc. We help you figure out which activities are a priority and then we do them. We even stuff envelopes when needed!
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.
