Sleep better at night
You’ve reached your fundraising capacity
Your current team is maxed out. You know there’s more fundraising potential, but you can’t unlock it without help.
Hiring full-time isn’t always the answer. It’s expensive. It takes time. And you’re the one left managing it all.
Traditional support options just aren’t cutting it:
Hiring In-House
Small budget means inexperienced staff who require more effort and time to manage.
vs.
Consultant
Strategic direction without implementation means a “plan” sits on a computer for 3 years and your big investment goes down the drain.
Let us take the weight of fundraising off your shoulders!
Your fundraising success starts with the right support.
As your fractional fundraising partner, my team and I provide both strategic leadership and hands-on implementation. We work directly with you to grow individual giving and digital fundraising - from annual appeals and major gifts to peer-to-peer campaigns and donor stewardship.

Meet the Team!
At Collaborative Cause Consulting, we specialize in building strong individual giving programs and fundraising systems for small and mid-sized nonprofits.
Our team-based model brings together experienced fundraisers and specialists who collaborate on tailored strategies and hands-on implementation. From donor stewardship to campaign execution, we bring deep sector knowledge and a practical, results-focused approach - so your organization can stay focused on the mission, with confidence in your fundraising.

What to expect.
Risk Free, Results Oriented
Hiring in-house can be a big commitment - and it doesn’t always lead to strong results. With fractional fundraising, you get experienced support without the burden of hiring staff, managing operations, or stretching your budget to fit a full-time role. We deliver small-shop fundraising excellence at a sustainable price point - without the risks of turnover or limited capacity.
Your Relationships
Your donor relationships are at the heart of your organization - and we treat them that way. When we work on your behalf, we represent your unique voice, values, and mission. Our role is to strengthen and nurture your donor connections, not take ownership of them. We help your relationships grow - without ever stepping in front of them.
Consistency for your ROI
Fundraising success takes time and consistency. Your results depend on where you’re starting and what your goals are - but making that investment at the right time can change everything. A Fractional Fundraiser helps you build momentum, stay focused, and make the most of your investment - so your fundraising program doesn’t just start strong - it keeps going.
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!

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.
