Expert Leadership. Nonprofit Budget.

A full-time, experienced executive is a major investment. But what if you could get the C-suite strategy, mentorship, and 25+ years of experience without the C-suite salary? That’s the power of fractional leadership.

Think of it as a way to get the C-level expertise you need, exactly when you need it, for a “fraction” of the cost of a full-time hire.

I don’t just offer advice. I embed in your organization as a part-time member of your team to solve the high-level strategic challenges that are holding you back. Below are just a few examples of how I can help.

For Your Fundraising & Development

The Problem: Your Funding Has Plateaued.

Your Executive Director is stretched too thin, and no one is focused on high-level fundraising strategy. You’re great at events and annual appeals, but your major gifts, planned giving, and capital campaign efforts are stalled, and you lack a clear plan for sustainable growth.

The Fractional Solution: Your Part-Time Chief Development Officer.

I step in as your Fractional Chief Development Officer (CDO) to build and execute a high-level, multi-year fundraising plan. I’ll mentor your existing team, personally manage a portfolio of your top donors, and build the systems for major gift cultivation. You get 25 years of fundraising expertise focused on building your high-value pipeline.

For Your Operations & Management

The Problem: Your Team is Burning Out.

Your internal processes are clunky, disconnected, and inefficient. Your team is frustrated by manual work, your database is a mess, and you can’t get the reports you need to make smart decisions. You’re stuck in a constant cycle of reacting to problems instead of building for the future.

The Fractional Solution: Your Part-Time Chief Operating Officer.

As your Fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO), I become your systems-level problem solver. I’ll analyze your current workflows, manage your data and technology (including helping you choose and implement new systems), and build the operational dashboards you actually need. The goal: create a stable, efficient foundation that reduces frustration and lets your team focus on mission.

For Your Technology & AI Strategy

The Problem: You Need an AI Plan, Not Just Tools.

You know AI is important, but you have no strategy. Your team is dabbling with various tools, but you’re worried about data privacy, wasted effort, and missing the real opportunities. You need an expert to guide you beyond just “prompts” and build a real implementation plan.

The Fractional Solution: Your Part-Time AI Strategist.

As your Fractional AI Strategist, I bridge the gap between your mission and the technology. I’ll work with your leadership to build a practical AI roadmap, establish ethical guidelines, and manage the implementation of your highest-impact automation projects. I provide the expert oversight you need to use AI safely and effectively.

Have a Different Leadership Gap?

These are just a few examples. If you have a high-level strategic gap that’s keeping you from reaching your goals, chances are a fractional executive is the solution.

How to Fund This Position

We understand that budgets are tight. A fractional executive isn’t an “extra” cost; it’s a strategic investment. We can help you draft the case for support to present to your board, often showing how the role pays for itself through increased revenue, operational savings, or by securing new grant funding for innovation.
