Customized Consulting Services

Leadership Excellence: Fundraising Consulting & Executive Coaching 

We work with executive directors, development professionals, and board development committees to strengthen leadership and accelerate fundraising results. Our team combines executive coaching and fundraising consulting to support leaders as they build clarity, strengthen decision-making, and navigate the realities of major gift work and governance. 

We work with brand new EDs as well as seasoned development and leadership professionals—helping them support board relationships, improve fundraising strategy, and establish good governance practices that keep the organization aligned and moving forward. We also help leaders enjoy their roles again, reduce burnout risk, and remember that leadership can be lonely and stressful; our role is to be in your corner, helping you thrive. 

We provide practical guidance and accountability across both the internal leadership systems and the external donor-facing work—so fundraising stays steady, board partnerships deepen, and results grow. We work with organizations of many budget sizes—from brand new nonprofits just building their fundraising to multi-million dollar organizations scaling their impact. 

Get Senior Fundraising Support Without a Full-Time Hire 

When your organization needs fundraising leadership but is not ready for a full-time hire, we can step in with experienced support. Our interim and fractional services help stabilize and grow fundraising, set priorities, strengthen systems, support staff, and keep important donor and campaign work moving forward. We serve as your interim development director during staff transitions, sustaining and even growing your fundraising when you need continuity. We also manage capital campaigns, providing the senior-level direction and strategic momentum your organization needs. This is an ideal solution for small organizations launching their first major donor program, mid-size and larger organizations seeking fractional support, as well as during periods of growth or when fundraising feels stuck and requires experienced guidance. 

Prepare for a Successful Capital Campaign 

Capital campaigns require careful planning, strong leadership, and the right strategy. We support organizations through feasibility and planning studies, campaign preparation, solicitation strategy, volunteer and board engagement, and campaign implementation. Whether you are testing readiness or actively raising funds, we help you build momentum, avoid common missteps, and reach your campaign fundraising goal with confidence.

Build a Development Plan That Actually Guides Growth 

A strong development plan gives your organization a clearer path to raising more money with less guesswork. We help you assess what is working, identify missed opportunities, and create a customized fundraising plan with realistic priorities, measurable goals, and strategies that match your capacity. The result is a plan your team can actually use; one that reduces burnout, increases focus, and supports long-term growth.

Turn Your Board Into Stronger Fundraising Partners

A strong board can be one of your greatest fundraising assets. We provide practical, engaging board trainings that helps members better understand their role in fundraising, build confidence, and become stronger ambassadors for your mission. Our trainings are designed to meet boards where they are and help turn hesitation into meaningful action and partnership.

Strengthen Major Donor Relationships and Results 

Major donor fundraising doesn't have to feel overwhelming. We help nonprofit leaders and board members build sustainable major donor programs by identifying promising donors, building meaningful relationships, and making effective asks. Our coaching prepares you to move donors from genuine interest to meaningful, long-term investment -whether you're cultivating new supporters or deepening relationships with existing ones. The result? A confident team that raises money and builds donor loyalty while feeling part of your organizational family.

Great fundraising isn't transactional—it's relational. And Sharon teaches you how. Drawing on her work as a licensed clinical social worker, Sharon helps fundraisers and board members remove the psychological and emotional barriers that keep them from asking for money, while teaching them how to build more meaningful and authentic relationships with donors. Sharon delivers dynamic, high-impact keynotes, conference sessions, podcasts, and webinars that leave audiences feeling energized and equipped. Whether leading an intimate board workshop or addressing a national summit, she blends evidence-based strategy with deep empathy to turn "fundraising dread" into confidence and inspired action.

Use AI in Practical, Strategic Ways 

AI can advance your mission—the purpose behind everything you do—through greater efficiency and ongoing innovation. We train on Nonprofit AI and help nonprofits assess where AI can be most useful, identify practical tools that fit their size and needs, and build confidence in using AI to support fundraising, donor communications, research, planning, and operations. Our approach is grounded, strategic, and focused on real-world application, while taking into account ethical issues.

Grow Long-Term Support Through Legacy Giving 

Legacy giving is a cornerstone of long-term financial sustainability. With an estimated $124 trillion projected to change hands by 2045, organizations that prioritize planned giving today are securing their fiscal future. We help you launch or scale your program by clarifying your messaging, identifying high-potential opportunities, and building simple systems that align perfectly with your mission and capacity.
