For nonprofit fundraising consultants

The technical partner behind your client work, so building isn't one more thing on your plate.

I build and run the systems behind your client work — automation, CRM, donor databases, AI-connected tools — so you can stay focused on strategy and the relationship.

What I hear from consultants

The tools were supposed to make this easier.

Trust

Donor software that gets opened with dread, not convenience — duplicate records that keep coming back, and reporting nobody quite trusts.

Cost

Wanting something simple — a birthday touch, a no-contact-in-30-days flag — and finding out the platform you already pay for calls that an $800/month add-on.

Manual process

Donor tracking still living in a spreadsheet: typos nobody catches, no time to fact-check, losing track of who gave when.

Assumption gap

Assuming this would be straightforward, then finding out — again — that it isn't solved out of the box by the tools already in the stack.

What I do

I build and run the technical systems behind your client work.

Automation, CRM configuration on whatever platform you're on, donor-database workflows, AI-driven website updates (WordPress and others), and AI-powered donor communication systems. You stay focused on strategy and the client relationship. I bring the technical execution most solo consultants don't have in-house — and you bill it, or introduce me, as part of your own service. Everything gets documented and handed off clean; nothing depends on me staying in the room.

This isn't only what you build for clients, either. Just as often it's your own practice — how you track leads, run your own automations, and bring AI into how you operate day to day.

How it works

Two ways to work together.

Ongoing

Technical Partner

Covers all in-scope technical work — your client book, your own practice, or both. Fits when the need is steady, not a single project.

Per project

Flat-Fee Project

A single build, priced by complexity. Fits when you have one defined workflow or system to solve.

These aren't a menu — they match different situations. Often it starts as a flat-fee project and becomes a subscription once you're requesting enough that it's cheaper than paying project by project.

Scope

What's in, what's out.

Rule of thumb: does this require touching, building, or configuring a system, database, or automated workflow — or training someone on one? Yes = in scope. No = out.

In scope

  • Automation builds (n8n, Power Automate, or whatever fits)
  • CRM configuration on any platform
  • Donor-database configuration
  • Custom apps
  • AI-connected website updates & publishing (WordPress, etc.)
  • Technical SEO & AEO/GEO (schema markup, structured data, crawlability — not content strategy)
  • Training and support on the systems built

Out of scope

  • Direct mail copy
  • Content strategy or copywriting (blog strategy, SEO content, brand messaging)
  • Donor or fundraising strategy (that's your seat)
  • Visual/UX website design, or manual day-to-day upkeep
Pricing Directional — not a locked quote

Two models, priced plainly.

Ongoing subscription

1–3 clients$1,500/mo
4–6 clients+$400/mo per client
7+ clients+$350/mo per client
Above ~10–12 clientsCustom quote

Flat-fee project

Simple — one tool, one triggerfrom $800
Several connected systems, more complex rulesup to $4,500
Genuinely large buildsCustom quote

Bundled projects and repeat work come with a discount. Subscription tiers are priced per client served — practice-only engagements (no client book involved) are scoped as a flat-fee project or custom quote instead.

Every system referenced here has already run in production — donor CRM, automation, AI tools — not demos, not pilots.

FAQ

Questions worth answering upfront.

Who is this for?

Solo or small nonprofit consulting practices — capital campaigns, annual giving, fundraising strategy — who don't have technical or data capability in-house.

Do you only work on my clients' systems, or my own practice too?

Both. Plenty of engagements start with helping consultants get their own practice running well — lead tracking, your own automations, AI tools — before or alongside anything client-facing.

What if I'm not sure exactly what needs to get built?

That's what the fit call is for. We talk through what's slowing your client work down, and figure out from there whether it's a subscription, a flat-fee project, or not a fit at all.

Do I need to already be using a specific CRM or platform?

No. I work with whatever platform you're already on — Salesforce, Bloomerang, HubSpot, or anything else — rather than pushing you onto new tools.

How is this different from hiring a freelance developer?

I work specifically inside nonprofit fundraising systems, document everything as I go, and stay available for support after handoff — not a one-off build that goes stale.

Can I bill this to my client, or offer it as my own service?

Either way. Most consultants do one or the other — the work happens quietly behind your client relationship regardless.

What's explicitly not included?

Direct mail copy, content strategy or copywriting, donor or fundraising strategy, and visual/UX website design — anything without a system or workflow behind it.

Building isn't one more thing on your plate.
