What is fractional fundraising?
A Fractional Fundraiser is a senior fundraising expert that, for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, creates strategy, supports implementation, and delivers the results you need.
Think of it as having a freelance Director of Development on your team without the $95K-$140K salary and benefits package.
You get:
Senior-level expertise. Our consultants have 10-25+ years experience.
Hands-on implementation, not just a plan that sits on a shelf)
Weekly accountability and support, so you can stop trying to figure it out alone.
Community-Centric Fundraising approach built in.
“We’ve doubled our individual giving revenue”

👇🏼 WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT 👇🏼
What is Community-Centric Fundraising?
Community-Centric Fundraising (CCF) is a movement that challenges traditional fundraising by asking: Who benefits, and who gets left out? It pushes fundraisers to build trust, share resources, and act with justice in mind.
CCF means raising money in ways that are ethical, inclusive, and rooted in community. It invites nonprofits to treat fundraising as part of their social justice work.
CCF is about fundraising that’s done with the community, not to or for them.
CCF is grounded in ten principles. These act as guiding values for our fundraising strategies and initiatives.
