Get Expert Help—Without the Full-Time Price Tag
Before hiring a full-time Development Director, consider the real costs:
- Salary and benefits
- Health insurance
- Onboarding and training
- Office space and equipment
- Paid time off
A full-time hire can cost your nonprofit $70K–$100K+ annually.
By partnering with a fundraising consultant like me, you get access to expert-level strategy and execution without the long-term financial commitment. I also have limited availability as a fractional fundraiser on a part-time or contract basis, typically 10 to 20 hours a week.
You benefit from:
✅ Proven fundraising and donor retention expertise
✅ Immediate results—no long training curve
✅ Flexibility and cost efficiency
✅ High-impact work at a fraction of the cost
✅ Results without the overhead
I bring the same dedication and skill as a full-time hire, at a fraction of the cost. You get a pro—without the overhead.
