I help nonprofits build the operational backbone they need to grow—clearer systems, stronger infrastructure, and the kind of internal systems funders, partners, and boards expect to see.
I'm a nonprofit consultant with 25+ years of experience across the sector, including 13 years as a founding executive director, 7+ years of consulting, technical assistance, and federal grant review service for the U.S. Department of Education. I've built a nonprofit from the ground up, increased annual revenue 24x, managed multi-million-dollar funding portfolios, and designed grant and program operations systems for a national multi-site education network.
Most nonprofit leaders I work with don't need more advice. They need clarity, structure, and someone who can translate what they're already doing into something organized, repeatable, and credible.
I WORK BEST WITH NONPROFITS THAT ARE:
• Growing faster than their internal systems can keep up
• Early-stage or rebuilding and in need of foundational structure
• Preparing for funding, partnerships, or organizational growth
• Operating without clear SOPs, workflows, or documentation
• Stretched thin and looking for someone to bring order to operations
• Pursuing a fundraising strategy, not just a grant writer
• Strengthening board, governance, or programmatic infrastructure
WHAT I OFFER ON UPWORK:
Nonprofit Operations & Systems
• Workflow, SOP, and documentation development
• Operational audits and process improvement
• Internal systems design (tracking, reporting, project management tools)
• Grant operations infrastructure—compliance, tracking, reporting
• Vendor, contractor, and cross-functional coordination support
Organizational Strategy & Infrastructure
• Organizational assessments and capacity-building plans
• Board development, recruitment, and governance support
• Policy and procedure development
• Program design, implementation, and evaluation support
• Technical assistance and training for nonprofit teams
Fundraising Strategy & Coaching
• Fundraising strategy development across individual giving, events, corporate, and peer-to-peer channels
• Donor engagement, stewardship, and retention planning
• CRM cleanup, donor segmentation, and data strategy
• Fundraising campaign content and copy support (appeals, stewardship messaging, sponsorship outreach)
• Coaching for executive directors and development leads
Funding Readiness
• Grant readiness audits and snapshots
• Funding strategy and prospect alignment
• Organizational narrative review
• 30-Day Funding Readiness Roadmaps
WHAT I DON'T TAKE ON: To protect your time and mine, I do not offer:
• Last-minute proposal turnarounds
• Open-ended coaching without clear scope or deliverables
If you're looking for someone who can take a holistic view of what your organization actually needs, let's talk.
Note: While my consulting practice is primarily focused on nonprofit operations, I also take on selected projects in adjacent areas, including database setup, editorial work, website design, and systems design, for small businesses and mission-driven ventures.
