Bridge Your Gap

Interim staffing keeps your fundraising efforts moving forward successfully at a predictable, manageable cost while you search for your next – or your first – development professional.

An Organic Approach to Fundraising

Starting and growing fundraising programming means drawing new activities and priorities into the fabric of your organization’s culture – and this organic change requires time for the key people involved to process and build new habits. I approach my practice by working with you to define your goals and the concrete steps that will lead you there. Let’s work together on bite-sized projects so you take one step at a time, finishing each with a clear plan of action to move ahead. Take the time you need to fully implement change in manageable increments, and when you’re ready to take the next step, we can sit down and make a fresh assessment as a foundation to your action plan. Your organization is unique, with its own strengths, opportunities, resources, and challenges, and my approach to fundraising practice is to honor the constellation of elements that make your organization stand out.

How This Works

DISCOVERY

There is no obligation – discovery conversations are always free. Let’s explore what you want to accomplish and decide if we want to work together. I am happy to meet with you in person if possible.

Proposal

For your consideration, you will receive a draft proposal for services, with an open invitation for your feedback and clarification to ensure that the final proposal captures the scope of work and timeline you want.
I will complete a final proposal timely, with clear pricing and timeline.

EXECUTION

I will complete the work as agreed, staying in close touch with you at every step. We can make adjustments as needed to ensure the best possible outcome.

CONCLUSION

You will receive a written report at the conclusion of the work. Depending on the type of work, this may be a summary of research, action steps on a timeline, or a staffing transition plan.
