The Purpose-Driven Fundraising Framework
Transformational fundraising is more than a strategy. It is a journey rooted in purpose, clarity, and meaningful relationships. I walk alongside mission-driven organizations through a three-phase process designed to create lasting impact and long-term success.
Phase I: Discover & Design
Timeline: 3 months
Every partnership begins with listening. In this foundational phase, we take a deep dive into your current fundraising practices, exploring your people, processes, and performance. Together, we uncover opportunities, identify strengths, and address challenges.
From there, I craft a strategic fundraising plan tailored to your organization’s vision, culture, and capacity. This plan becomes a living roadmap that aligns your efforts with your highest aspirations.
Phase II: Activate & Elevate
Timeline: 6 months+
This is where vision meets action. With the plan in place, we move into implementation, building momentum, inspiring generosity, and equipping your team to lead with clarity and confidence.
Services in this phase may include:
• Full execution of your fundraising strategy
• Cultivating and securing transformational gifts
• Tailored professional development for philanthropy teams, leadership, and board members
• Grant research and writing to support program growth and innovation
The goal is not just to raise funds, but to elevate your entire culture of giving.
Phase III: Sustain & Strengthen
Timeline: Ongoing as needed
Impact takes time, and ongoing support can make all the difference. In this final phase, I remain a trusted advisor and resource to help sustain your growth, strengthen donor relationships, and keep your team aligned and inspired.
This phase often includes:
• Continued grant writing and reporting
• Establishing and growing your philanthropic program
• Ongoing coaching and development for staff, leadership, and board members
Whether you need strategic insight, expert writing, or a steady hand in times of change, I am here to support your mission for the long term.
