Fundraising consulting
“The key to fundraising success is follow-up. Without follow-up, meetings have no meaning, events have no significance, and you can’t move forward.”
– Catherine Brack
Have you ever had a meeting like this?
The meeting where introductions are made, presentations are given, questions are exchanged. You shake hands, thank everyone involved, walk out the door, and then…..what? What was that meeting? What. Just. Happened?
We call this “the nice meeting”. Everyone is perfectly polite, and the hour or so spent together is pleasant, but in the end, all you have to show for it is a few new business cards.
Are you tired of nice meetings?
Would you like your interactions with potential funders to turn into partnerships? Not sure where your organization is going to be in 5 years? Would you like your events to be epic and not just another rubber-chicken dinner?
I can help.
With more than 25 years of experience in forming strategic partnerships, I work with you to focus your message, evolve your target list, and get results. I put in the time to get you, to understand your mission and to put together a plan that is actionable and feasible. Let me do the hard work that helps you to better realize your mission, and puts cash in the bank.
I specialize in results that make your accountants happy.
No. More. Nice. Meetings.

Strategic Planning
“Knowing your strengths and your weaknesses as an organization is the best thing you can do to advance your cause. Play on your strengths and turn your weaknesses into assets.”
— Catherine Brack
Your organization is a reflection on you and your staff. Understanding the full potential of your organization’s reach and influence will help to ensure a brighter future. By taking a hard look at what you do and why, your teams will function better and your bottom line will stay in the black. A deep-dive into the data you have on hand will help to forge better long term relationships with your funding base.
- Full organizational SWOT
- Constituent interviews
- Identify assets and competition
- Build pipeline of potential partners
- Determine short-, medium- and long-term goals
Event planning
“It is the small things that make great events – good lighting, interesting people and delicious food. A well-stocked open bar doesn’t hurt, either.”
– Catherine Brack
Events can be the lifeblood of an organization. They provide visibility, networking opportunities and a chance to make a lasting impression on your target audience.
Great events – ones that are calendared in advance and generate buzz – happen when everything clicks. But getting to that point takes a lot of work – fact checking, detail analysis, crossing T’s and dotting I’s in triplicate. And lists. Lots of lists.
We bring a creative passion to fundraising and events that help our clients develop a powerful case for support and reach key financial goals.
