You’re running lean with limited time, staff, and money.
But imagine what you could do with more funding.
If you’re ready to invest in:
making your donors feel loved (so they’ll love you back!)
creating custom-made appeals designed for your needs and your donors
grant-seeking that’s intentional and relational (let’s leave behind the “spray and pray” grant writing, ok?)
Donor Communications
I don’t need to tell you that sector-wide donor retention stats are, well, embarrassing.
And finding new donors is expensive.
It’s time to stop the churn and burn.
You need to nurture your donors all year long with thoughtful, strategic, and frequent messages that make them feel valued and grateful to be part of your work — so when you do ask for money, they’re excited to give!
If you’re serious about loving (and keeping) your donors, start here.
I write newsletters, nurture emails/series, social media copy, and blog posts, as well as annual reports, white papers, freebies, and website copy.
Fundraising Appeals
If your fundraising appeals are an afterthought, written in a panicked frenzy right before the deadline (dang it, you’re BUSY!), it’s time to try something new – because your donors deserve better.
Your mission, your brand, your USP, your donors are what sets your organization apart from the crowd.
So why are you sending generic fundraising appeals into the world?
Start sending appeals you’re proud of and that get results because they tap into your organization’s distinctiveness.
I write direct mail appeals, email appeals, social copy for appeals, landing pages for campaigns, and cases for support.
Grants
Getting noticed by your best-fit funders requires a deep commitment to telling the story of your work through narratives and data that stand out in a competitive grant market.
It’s not enough to be doing exceptional work.
You need to find the funders who will be excited about that work.
You need to communicate about your mission, vision, and impact in a way that gets attention.
You need to manage all of the moving parts that go into successful grant applications.
I conduct grant research, manage grant writing projects, and write grant narratives.
