Let us

manage your fundraising. You focus on changing the world.

Fractional fundraising means a senior, community-centric fundraiser works inside your organisation on a set schedule — a few days a week, or a few days a month — carrying real accountability for results, not just advice on a slide.

The problem

One person is carrying the whole fundraising function

In most small and mid-sized nonprofits, fundraising lands on the Executive Director. It gets squeezed between board meetings, HR, programme delivery, and everything else on the job. The pipeline goes quiet. Grant deadlines get missed. Donors hear from you only when you need something.

That is not a failure of effort. It is a structural problem: fundraising is a full job, and it is being done off the side of someone else's desk. A fractional fundraiser fixes the structure, not just the symptoms.

The full function, month to month

A fundraising plan first

We always start with a plan that sets strategic objectives and a real work plan for your fundraising programme — not a document that sits in a drive.

Hands-on implementation

Then we implement it. From strategy to stuffing envelopes, if it is in the plan, we make sure it gets done.

Donor pipeline and moves

Active management of major and mid-level relationships, with a clear next step for every prospect.

Grants, end to end

Research, writing, submission and reporting, tracked against a calendar your team can see.

Campaigns and appeals

Annual appeal, monthly giving and campaign planning that actually gets executed.

Board and staff coaching

Short sessions that build the fundraising confidence of the people around you.

How we work

Four steps, no mystery

01

Discovery call

A free conversation about your organisation, your goals and what is realistic given your size.

02

Assessment and plan

We look at what you already have — donors, data, story, systems — and write the plan we will be held to.

03

Embedded delivery

Your fractional fundraiser works on a set number of days a month, with your email signature and a seat in your meetings.

04

Review and handover

Weekly pipeline reviews, monthly revenue reviews, and systems your team keeps when the engagement ends.

Pricing, plainly

A fraction of a senior hire

A full-time senior Director of Development in Toronto often costs well over $100K in salary and benefits. Fractional fundraising gives you that seniority at a fraction of the cost, scoped to the days you actually need. We'll build a proposal around your budget, not a template.

FAQ

Questions we get asked first

What does fractional actually mean?

A senior fundraiser works inside your organisation on a set schedule — a few days a week or a few days a month — carrying real accountability for results. You get the seniority of a Director of Development without the full-time salary.

How experienced are your fundraisers?

Every Raise It! certified fractional fundraiser on our team has more than 10 years of fundraising experience across grants, major gifts, campaigns and community-centric practice.

How long is a typical engagement?

Most engagements run six to twelve months. Anything shorter rarely gives a pipeline enough time to produce results you can measure.

What does it cost?

A full-time senior Director of Development in Toronto often costs well over $100K in salary and benefits. Fractional support is a fraction of that, scoped to the days you actually need. We build a proposal around your budget, not a template.

Do you work outside Canada?

Yes. We operate globally and have supported organisations across North America, Europe and the MENA region.

Can we mix fundraising and communications?

Yes. Many organisations mix and match fractional fundraising with fractional communications so the story and the ask are built together.
