Hiring me as a specialized Fractional Fundraiser expert differs from traditional in-house hiring in several key ways:

Expertise and Experience: With over 20 years in the sector, I bring a depth of knowledge and a breadth of experience that might be challenging to find in a single in-house hire.

Cost-Effectiveness: You avoid the overhead costs associated with full-time employees, such as benefits, training, and office space. My services provide high-level expertise at a fraction of the cost.

Flexibility and Efficiency: My services are adaptable to your specific needs and timeframes. Unlike in-house staff who may have fixed roles, I offer a range of services from fundraising to strategic planning, providing versatility without the need for multiple hires.

Focus on Results: As an external consultant, my focus is solely on delivering results, driven by a results-oriented approach tailored to your nonprofit's unique goals.

Reduced Risk and Administrative Burden: You avoid the risks and administrative complexities of hiring and managing additional staff, such as dealing with turnover or navigating employment laws.

In summary, hiring me offers a blend of expertise, cost savings, flexibility, and a strong results-driven approach, providing a strategic advantage over traditional in-house hiring.

A Fractional Fundraiser costs between $4,000 and $5,000 per month plus tax. I work on 12-month renewable contracts. For a detailed pricing plan tailored to your specific needs, this can be discussed during our discovery call.

In my ongoing commitment to address systemic disparities and promote inclusivity, I'm proud to introduce my Equity Pricing Initiative. Recognizing the unique hurdles encountered by organizations dedicated to substance abuse and recovery, this initiative offers a 25% discount for organizations that are focused on the critical areas of substance abuse and recovery.

I understand that the fight against substance abuse and the journey towards recovery are fraught with challenges, and these difficulties are often magnified for communities that have been historically marginalized or underserved. By extending my Equity Pricing Initiative to include organizations working in these vital sectors, I aim to support the incredible work being done to heal and empower individuals and communities affected by substance abuse.

My dedication to ensuring that my services/products are accessible extends deeply into the realm of substance abuse and recovery, acknowledging the imperative need for resources and support in these areas. This pricing model represents one step in my journey towards a more equitable and inclusive world, where the tools for healing and growth are available to all, especially those who have been left behind.

If your work is focused on substance abuse and recovery, please indicate so during your Discovery Call. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those impacted by substance abuse, fostering a community of recovery, strength, and resilience.

While I strive to deliver the best possible outcomes based on my extensive experience and expertise, it's important to note that guaranteeing specific results can be challenging due to the complex and variable nature of nonprofit management. Here are some key points to consider:

Effort and Expertise: I commit to applying my full expertise and effort to meet and exceed your organization's goals. However, the success of these efforts can also depend on factors beyond my control, such as market conditions, donor behavior, and broader economic factors.

Collaborative Approach: Success in fundraising is often a result of collaborative efforts. While I can lead and guide strategies and implementations, the active participation and support of your team and stakeholders are also crucial.

Metrics and Goals: I focus on setting realistic and measurable goals based on an in-depth understanding of your organization's unique situation. Regular evaluations and adjustments to strategies will be made to align with these goals.

Transparency and Communication: I believe in maintaining open communication about what is achievable. Regular updates and transparent discussions about progress and any challenges are key to our partnership.

Adaptability: The nonprofit sector can be dynamic, and flexibility is essential. I am committed to adapting strategies as necessary to navigate changing circumstances and seize opportunities.

While I cannot offer a blanket guarantee on specific results, my commitment is to provide high-quality, dedicated service aimed at achieving the best possible outcomes for your nonprofit.

The number of hours dedicated to your organization each week can vary based on the specific agreement and needs of your nonprofit. Typically, for a service like this, the following factors are considered:

Scope of Work: The hours per week depend on the agreed-upon scope of work. More comprehensive services might require more hours.

Contract Terms: I work on 12-month contracts. The contract will outline the number of hours per week. For a fractional role, this might range from a few hours to several days per week.

Organization's Size and Needs: Smaller nonprofits might require fewer hours, while larger organizations or those with more complex needs might require more time.

Project Phases: During certain phases of a project (like a major fundraising campaign), the time commitment might increase.

Flexibility: One of the benefits of a fractional role is flexibility. The hours can be adjusted as the project or organizational needs evolve.

For a typical fractional role, this could range anywhere from about 10 to 20 hours per week, but it's important to discuss and agree upon this during the initial stages of engagement to ensure it aligns with your organization's expectations and needs.
