Helping Nonprofits Grow Sustainable Donor Programs – Without Hiring Full-Time Staff
We provide senior-level strategy and hands-on implementation to grow individual giving, boost donor retention, and build reliable fundraising systems.
A 90-minute working session to clarify your priorities and walk away with a fundraising roadmap.
✅Free your team’s time
✅Raise more - with less stress
✅Sleep better at night
Maxed out on capacity? You don't need to go it alone.
If your donor program is stalled or scattered, it's time to stop guessing. CCC offers a strategic entry point for nonprofit leaders who need clear direction — not more noise. Start with a one-time 90-minute coaching session to assess your current state, clarify your next steps, and decide whether deeper partnership makes sense.
Traditional support options aren’t always enough:
Hiring In-House
Small teams often can’t afford senior fundraising staff - which can mean hiring someone early in their career who needs more time, oversight, and support to succeed.
Consultant
You get a plan, but not the implementation. Without someone to manage the day-to-day work, even great strategies end up collecting dust.
A better option - tailored to your reality
We start with a Strategic Fundraising Coaching Session to clarify where your donor program needs to go. Then, we offer right-sized support to implement — blending senior strategy, practical systems, and reliable execution.
We help you grow individual giving — so you can focus on impact.
Your fundraising success starts with the right support—strategy that fits your goals, and experienced guidance to move it forward.
Whether you need high-level guidance or full implementation, we help grow individual giving and build donor programs that last. That includes annual appeals, monthly giving, donor stewardship, and campaign execution—backed by practical systems and data-informed planning.
Individual giving is our core focus. When aligned with your goals, we also bring in support for grants, sponsorships, or corporate fundraising through our extended team—coordinated under one strategic plan.
Based in Nova Scotia, CCC partners with nonprofits across Canada, with a special focus on organizations in Atlantic Canada. We understand the realities of small-shop fundraising and bring a grounded, regionally informed approach to every engagement.
All new engagements begin with a Strategic Fundraising Coaching Session to clarify your path before jumping into a long-term plan.
The support you need - tailored to your fundraising goals.

Meet Tanya!
If you're an Executive Director or fundraising generalist at a nonprofit with $500K–$2M in annual revenue, you know the challenge: your donor program isn’t growing as it should. You have compelling stories to tell and supporters who care — but without enough time, structure, or systems, progress stalls.
That’s where I come in. I’m Tanya Wall, Founder and Principal Consultant at Collaborative Cause Consulting. My team helps nonprofits grow individual giving through expert strategy and hands-on implementation. We go beyond planning — implementing campaigns, designing donor journeys, and getting your CRM systems ready to support your fundraising goals.
With 20+ years in fundraising and nonprofit leadership, I’ve led teams that have raised over $30M through campaigns, major gifts, and community giving. I hold a CFRE, a Certificate in Fundraising Management, and a degree in Community Social Services. I’m also a proud member of the Nonprofit Fractional Network.
Based in Nova Scotia, I work with nonprofits across Canada — with a special focus on small-shop fundraising in Atlantic Canada.
What to expect.
Strategic Capacity Without the Commitment
Hiring in-house is a big decision—and not always the right next step. Fractional fundraising gives you access to senior-level strategy and hands-on support, tailored to your goals. It’s a flexible way to grow your fundraising capacity without overextending your team or budget.
Your Donor Relationships, Front and Centre
Your donor relationships stay yours. We act as an extension of your team, representing your voice, values, and mission in every interaction. Our role is to strengthen those connections through thoughtful systems and consistent engagement—not to step in front of them.
Consistency That Drives Results
Sustainable growth doesn’t happen overnight. We provide steady, focused support that builds momentum and long-term value. Whether you're rebuilding a donor program or scaling what’s already working, we help you stay strategic, consistent, and aligned with your goals.
FAQs
-
Hiring in-house is a big commitment—and not always the right next step for smaller teams. Most in-house budgets cover only a junior or mid-level role—someone who still needs direction and may not have the experience to grow your individual giving program effectively.
Fractional fundraising gives you access to senior-level strategy and implementation, often for a comparable cost—without the hiring or management workload.
We begin with a clear onboarding phase to assess your donor program, clarify goals, and create a strategic plan. From there, your dedicated consultant leads the work with consistency and accountability.
Clients often describe a sense of relief and momentum—knowing their donor program is in capable hands and moving forward, without adding strain to their team.

Our core focus is individual giving and the systems that support it—where we bring the most value in helping you grow sustainable, donor-centered revenue.
That said, fundraising doesn’t happen in isolation. If your plan includes grants, events, or corporate partnerships, we can coordinate those elements through trusted collaborators from our extended network. You’ll still work through Collaborative Cause as your single point of contact, ensuring one aligned, integrated plan.
Any additional costs for these services are scoped to your needs and clearly outlined before work begins.
-
We can’t promise specific dollar amounts or donor numbers—no ethical fundraiser can. Fundraising is about building trust, and that takes time, consistency, and the right approach.
What we can promise is to be your committed partner: bringing senior-level strategy, consistent follow-through, and a values-aligned approach that keeps your long-term growth front and centre. When we work together, you’ll never feel like you’re carrying your fundraising program alone.
-
As a fractional partner, you’ll have us for a portion of the time (and cost) of a full-time hire. We don’t track by the hour - instead, we work toward your agreed-upon priorities, with the time invested varying depending on the stage of your plan.
Some weeks may involve more hands-on implementation (such as campaign execution), while others may be lighter and focus on planning or analysis. What’s consistent is our senior-level oversight, strategic direction, and steady progress toward your goals.
We’ll keep you informed so you always know where your fundraising stands and what’s coming next.
