Let me ease your funding brain fog.
From grant writing to pitching to plain ole fundraising, it can all feel like one, big math equation. You may call these services, I call them formulas.
My affordable formulas will lighten your workload, giving you your time back to focus on other areas of your organization or business.
Before booking any services, I require my free 30-minute brainstorm session to see if we’re a good fit.
But first, let’s walk through each formula.
Grant Research: The key to grant research is researching like you’re on the other side of the table. I use my favorite grant research databases and savvy new-age technology to connect you with grantmakers who are looking for organizations like yours. And I don’t discriminate - public, private foundations, and corporations are all fair game.
Starting at $530
Professionally researched, comprehensive list of mission-aligned grant opportunities including grant application link, contact name and email address, program alignment, criteria, deadline, suggested amount, past grantmaking trends, and recommended next steps.
*Cost varies depending on how many potential grants you want to identify.
Grant Writing: The secret to a competitive grant is communicating tangible impact, storytelling, and what will make a relationship with you worthwhile. This approach will leave grant committees feeling like they’re missing out if they don’t fund your program. I tackle public (federal, state, and local government) and private (foundation and corporate) grants.
Starting at $650 (includes data research and calculation)
*Cost varies depending on how many grant applications you want to submit.
Grant Reporting: Now that you’ve been awarded the grant, you must show you want to stay on top of the relationship. Your report needs to scream “I’m trustworthy, and next time, there will be even more impact”. It’s also an opportunity to show how those numbers from the initial application have changed because of the funder’s support.
Starting at $400 (includes data research and calculation)
*Cost varies depending on the reporting requirements.
General Organization Deck: Your deck is the moment to communicate to potential partners, high-ticket donors, and sponsors “We’re making an impact and have a vision for the future we don’t want you to miss”. Every organization needs this resource, especially if you’re just starting out with no website or one-pagers.
$350 (minimum 10 slides)
*Please note this does not include graphic design. Basic Google Slide or Canva designs are available upon request for an additional fee of $150.
Sponsorship Deck: This is a chance to share with potential corporate sponsors why their support is a chance for them to build towards something greater than your organization. We’ll collaborate on benefits that will make your organization stand out against your competitors.
$500 (up to 5 sponsorship levels)
*Please note this does not include graphic design. Basic Google Slide or Canva designs are available upon request for an additional fee of $150.
Email Sequences and Newsletters: Emails are a low-cost simple tactic to nurture relationships with donors consistently. And they’re the best way to start relationships with people who don’t know you! Similar to for-profit models, the more you show up, the better. Plus, it’s one of the few opportunities to convey your brand and tone to your audience.
$150/monthly newsletter
Starting at $375 for Welcome Sequence (5 emails minimum)
Starting at $375 for Fundraising Email Campaign (5 emails minimum)
Starting at $400 for Corporate Sponsorship Email Pitches (5 emails minimum)
Membership Giving Strategy: Your donors give you the power to thrive and not survive as a nonprofit. It’s the relationship that you have the most control and ability to say “We’re growing this organization together”. It’s fundamental you appreciate and include them in the impact you’re making to reduce donor dropoff. My goal is to convert one-time donors to recurring ones and multiply their giving annually.
Starting at $150 for One-Time Donor Conversion Strategy
Starting at $250 for Monthly Donor Strategy
Starting at $350 for High-Ticket Donor Strategy
*Maintenance of these relationships is provided on a retainer basis only.
Twisted Sales Funnel: Creation + Maintenance: This tactic converts cold website leads into one-time donors. This takes a spin on a classic for-profit sales funnel by offering free value upfront to establish trust and credibility. This is integral because as a nonprofit you’re in competition and donors are the backbone of your organization.
Creation starts at $250 and monthly maintenance is an additional fee of $150
Let's brainstorm.

My best for you guarantee.
Whether we work together or not, I will give my best judgment for your next steps.
Unfortunately, I’ve been a part of the most precious nonprofits closing their doors. I’ve also been a part of nonprofits that run 6-figure programming.
During my free, 15-minute brainstorm session, I can guarantee my expertise and discernment with your goals and budget constraints in mind.
It might not be hiring a grant writer or researcher like myself. Instead, it may be starting with programming, marketing, or simply getting your idea out there more.
Whatever it is, I can reassure you our call will give you more clarity than you came with.
