Sleep better at night
You’ve reached your fundraising capacity
Your team is doing everything they can - but there’s only so much they can take on. You know there’s untapped donor potential, but you need the right support to access it.
Hiring in-house isn’t always the best next step. It’s a big investment, takes time to onboard, and still leaves you managing strategy and oversight-
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
Our model blends senior strategy, hands-on delivery, and flexible support to meet your needs without the complexity of hiring in-house.
Let us take the weight of fundraising off your shoulders!
Your fundraising success starts with the right support - strategy that fits your goals and steady hands to carry it through.
Whether you need high-level guidance or full delivery, we help grow individual giving and build donor programs that last. That includes annual giving, monthly donors, stewardship systems, and campaign execution - all backed by practical systems and data-informed planning.
While our core focus is individual giving, we also collaborate on grants, corporate partnerships, and event-based fundraising when they align with your goals. Our extended team brings in those skills as needed - under a single, coordinated plan.
CCC is based in Nova Scotia and works with nonprofits across Canada, with a particular focus on organizations in Atlantic Canada. We understand the realities of fundraising in smaller shops and bring a practical, regionally informed approach to every engagement.
The support you need - tailored to your fundraising goals.
Strategic Guidance
Every engagement starts with a clear understanding of your goals, capacity, and current fundraising efforts. Whether you need a full strategic plan or light-touch advisory, we shape the support around what will move your program forward..
Consistent Delivery
For clients who need implementation, your fundraising manager takes the lead — coordinating campaigns, stewarding donors, and managing day-to-day execution. When needed, we bring in additional expertise to support key areas like digital, donor communications, or backend systems.
We’ll manage your fundraising. You focus on changing the world.

What to expect.
Strategic Capacity Without the Commitment
Hiring in-house is a big commitment — and it doesn’t always deliver the results you need. With fractional fundraising, you get experienced, high-level support without the overhead or long-term risk. We deliver small-shop fundraising excellence at a sustainable price point, so you can grow without overextending.
Your Donor Relationships, Front and Centre
Your donor relationships stay yours. We act as an extension of your team — bringing your voice, values, and mission to every interaction. Our role is to nurture and strengthen those connections, never to step in front of them.
Consistency That Drives Results
Sustainable growth takes time. We offer steady, strategic support that builds momentum and delivers long-term value. Whether you're rebuilding a neglected program or scaling an existing one, we help you stay focused, consistent, and aligned with your goals.
FAQs

How is this different from hiring in-house?
Hiring in-house can be a great long-term goal - but for many small organizations, the available budget often only covers a junior role with limited experience. That person may need a lot of direction and may not have the strategic background to meaningfully grow your donor program.
Our model offers access to senior-level fundraising expertise - strategy and implementation — at a cost that’s often comparable to hiring an entry- or mid-level staff member. You get a dedicated consultant matched to your needs, with the option to scale support as your goals evolve.
Because we work as an external team, there’s no need to recruit, onboard, or manage another full-time employee. Our clients often tell us they feel both relief and momentum - knowing their donor program is in capable hands, without adding stress to their day-to-day operations.

How we work:
Each engagement is led by a senior consultant from our team, with strategic oversight provided by Tanya or another CCC lead as appropriate. Day-to-day implementation is carried out by your primary consultant, with additional support from digital, CRM, and campaign specialists as needed. -
Our core focus is individual giving and the systems that support it. That’s where we bring the most value - helping you grow sustainable, donor-centered revenue.
That said, fundraising rarely exists in a silo. When your plan includes grants, events, or corporate partnerships, we can bring in trusted collaborators from our extended team to support those elements - all under CCC’s strategic guidance. Any additional costs are scoped based on your needs and clearly outlined in advance.
You’ll continue working through Collaborative Cause, with a single point of contact and one aligned, integrated plan.

No reputable fundraiser should guarantee specific results - and if someone does, it’s a red flag. Fundraising success takes time, consistency, and trust.
Your results will depend on a variety of factors, including your starting point, existing infrastructure, and fundraising priorities. What we can promise is a strategic, donor-centered approach, a focus on long-term growth, and a team that’s invested in your success.
-
We don’t bill or operate based on a set number of hours. Instead, we focus on outcomes - delivering the right work at the right time based on your priorities and fundraising plan.
While the time we spend each week may vary depending on your calendar and campaign cycle, our model ensures consistent, senior-level support. Each consultant works with a limited number of clients to maintain quality and responsiveness.
We communicate clearly, prioritize what matters most, and always keep you in the loop - so you’re never left wondering where things stand.
