nurture & grow

A six month engagement to build your individual giving strategy.

Today’s economic and policy landscape is forcing nonprofit leaders to navigate uncertainty on multiple fronts. The lingering effects of a recessionary environment, shifting donor behavior, and changes to government funding and tax policy are putting more pressure on organizations to do more with less. At the same time, the stakes for sustainable fundraising have never been higher.

You're doing incredible work. You’ve launched a meaningful program, brought in wins, and laid a solid foundation. Your organization is ready to grow, but your ambitions far exceed your budget. Maybe you’ve even proven that fundraising can work at your organization—and you know it’s time to go deeper. Time to shift from reactive fundraising to something more strategic, more sustainable, and more relational.

But you're already wearing a hundred hats. You need more than good intentions and a few hours a week to build a truly thriving individual giving program.

That’s where Nurture & Grow comes in.

This six-month service is designed for small-but-mighty nonprofits that want to:

  • Develop a smart, right-sized fundraising strategy

  • Create authentic donor communications and stewardship plans

  • Build systems that reduce stress and increase sustainability

  • Finally feel like they have a real fundraising program—not just a few scattered appeals

You'll work directly with a senior fundraising professional to set your strategy, plan your year, craft donor-centered messaging, implement the right tech, train your board, and build the backbone of a sustainable individual giving program.

You'll also get guidance, encouragement, accountability, and the benefit of deep experience in donor communications and program development.

Nurture & Grow is for you if:

  • You're a small development team or a lone fundraiser who needs high-level support to get to the next stage

  • You’ve done some fundraising already and know it can work—but you need a plan, not just another task on your plate

  • You want to build an individual giving program that reflects your values, culture, and capacity

What you get:

  • An actionable, right-sized fundraising strategy tailored to your mission, team, and goals.

  • Monthly calls to review progress, make decisions, and troubleshoot in real time, with access to weekly office hours in between.

  • Donor journey and stewardship map customized to your donor segments and communication channels.

  • Tech and tools buildout —CRMs, automations, reports, email sequences, and more.

  • Unlimited email access for support between check-ins.

  • A partner in your corner to help you stay focused, strategic, and confident.
