Fractional fundraising
A senior fundraiser, and a team behind them.
Stop hiring one person to do everything. We give you someone senior on your work and the specialists to back them up: marketing, creative, and data.
We cut through the noise to get things done.
The model
You get a person. And a team behind them.
Most fundraising help arrives as one hire expected to do everything: strategy, marketing, data, and the freelancers on top.
We work differently. Every engagement has a senior lead who owns your work, with specialists behind them handling the rest. You get one team that already works together, accountable to you.
Who it is for
For leaders already doing five jobs.
You know the number needs to go up. You are also writing grants, running communications, stewarding donors, and setting strategy.
Hiring senior costs more than you have. Hiring junior means training someone you have no time to train. We close that gap.

How we work
However it fits your organization.
The shape changes. The senior lead and the team behind them do not.
01
A project
One defined piece of work with a clear finish. A campaign, a case for support, a fundraising plan, a board case.
02
An advisor
Senior counsel on a set cadence, working through the real decisions with your team, not just reviewing them after.
03
A fractional leader
A fundraising leader in the seat, at CRO or VP level, running it day to day with the team executing.
04
Building your team
You need the right fundraiser on staff and no time to find them. We screen, interview, and help you select. Not a recruiter, a fundraising team that knows what good looks like.
How we start
A fundraising audit, then a plan you can act on.
Every engagement starts the same way. We look at what you have, tell you the truth about it, and hand you a plan. Five steps.
01
Discovery
We learn your organization, your goals, and where fundraising stands today.
02
Audit
We pull your files and platform data and run them against fundraising best practices.
03
Findings
A clear read on what is working, what is not, and where the revenue is.
04
Plan
A prioritized action plan you can act on, and the team to run it.
05
Execution
We get to work, in whatever shape fits your organization.
Pricing
How we price.
We do not post one flat number, because the right scope is different for every organization. Here is how each way of working is priced.
A project
A fixed fee for the whole piece of work.
An advisor
A monthly fee for a set cadence.
A fractional leader
A monthly retainer sized to the role.
Building your team
A project fee for the search and selection.
You will see the number, and what shapes it, before you commit.
The bench
One relationship, a whole bench behind it.
You hire NV Strategies, and NV Strategies comes with a bench: a vetted network of specialists and partner studios we bring in as your work needs them.
You are never waiting on a single person, or paying for capacity you are not using.
