An Integrated Development Team for Nonprofits
Strategy, Data, Marketing, & Implementation Support for Less Than a Full-time Hire
Our team uplifts your leaders, engages your donors, and builds sustainable, data-driven fundraising infrastructure for growing nonprofits.
Staff Turnover is Costing You
Fundraisers keep leaving your organization? You might have an infrastructure problem.
We’re like your fundraising team’s fairy godmothers. We don’t replace your fundraisers. We empower them with the systems and implementation support they need to do their best work.
Without a strong fundraising foundation, even the best fundraisers will eventually walk away. Our goal is to keep that from ever happening to you.

We offer team-based fundraising support, including:
Fundraising strategy and planning
Donor data and CRM systems optimization
Stewardship workflows and accountability
Communications and campaign execution
And project management and reporting
All for less than the cost of a full-time hire.

Kind Words From Happy Clients
-
“Hiring Gabie is one of the best decisions we've made as an organization. She's proven herself irreplaceable and far outperforms our expectations. She is extremely detailed and strategic. Her ability to streamline processes and provide detailed plans has been instrumental in helping us achieve goals. She integrates into our team like a seasoned member.”
-
“Throughout the process Gabie was easy to work with, very knowledgeable and professional. Gabie asks great questions and really listens and uses that information to inform the new fundraising plan. The final plan is well done and created excitement among our Board Members. It was helpful that Gabie put new ideas in the plan, but also provided future ideas knowing our team is small and not able to implement everything immediately. More organizations need Gabie to help them create a plan that is focused and results driven. Overall, it was a great experience.”
