Consulting and Coaching

Do you have a mission you believe in deeply?

Does fundraising to support this mission stress you out? 

Do you want to engage your supporters with more confidence?

I help small non-profits activate their grassroots constituents to become donors. Through strategic communications and effective fundraising campaigns, I build deeper engagement between non-profits and their supporters.

Many non-profits ignore the incredible value of building financial support among grassroots constituents. Your constituents want to be part of your mission. With effective fundraising campaigns, you create more opportunities for your supporters to invest in your work.

By engaging your grassroots donors, you can:

  •  offer your supporters more ways to be a part of your mission;
  • galvanize the energy of your community to reach your goals;
  • build a larger network of supporters as word of your work spreads;
  • create less stress and more fun in your work by approaching fundraising as the necessary and positive work that it is;
  • raise more money.

I can help you reach these goals.

I have 15 years of fundraising experience. In fact, one of my first jobs entailed fundraising for my own salary. Experience has taught me the value of effective systems, engaged donors, and guilt-free fundraising.

Contact me to create strategic communications and high-engagement campaigns to activate your grassroots supporters.

I will help you:

  • Get clear on your fundraising campaign strategy and goals.
  • Design your fundraising campaign from start to finish, from strategy to messaging to scheduling.
  • Track your donors, personalize your campaign, and develop effective systems.
  • Maximize your fundraising results.
  • Thank and steward your donors.
  • Create a pathway to identify and build major donors.
  • Have fun and feel good about your fundraising campaigns.
  • Develop the confidence and mindset around money to be a more effective and courageous fundraiser.

And, we’ll do it all in about a month.

Katherine took the time to do it right, and I appreciate that so much. She considered my questions carefully, provided me a variety of angles, and asked me lots of questions about my constituents to try to figure out how to approach my fundraiser. I liked that she didn’t have instant answers or always one “right” answer, but gave me the information I was seeking in a rounded and complete way, sometimes after mulling it over herself or doing research on the side.
