You’re a high-performing Nonprofit CEO running a mid- or large-sized org who’s killing it in so many areas. So why does it feel like you never have the flexible & steady cash flow you need to grow by millions?

Perhaps?
☑️ You’re raising millions every year, but you’re too dependent on government contracts. 

☑️ You’ve built relationships with foundations, but if their funding priorities change, you’ll be in trouble. 

☑️ Time is limited to build relationships with individuals - you know money is being left on the table. 

☑️ Your annual event raises solid revenue - but if it goes away, so does the money (hello, 2020). And not to mention . . . the time!

☑️ There’s no doubt your Advancement Staff works hard, but you need them to play a greater role in your financial engine. You need high-ROI revenue generators confidently reaching your true financial need every year! 

To attract investment-level donors and grow your revenue, you must first fix the business behind the fundraising engine.

This is where I come in.

I help Nonprofit CEOs:
1) Grow their gen-ops revenue to match the Strategic Plan goals (my clients want to grow by 2-10X)
2) Fully Financing their true annual need every year (including reserve, overhead, & staff)
3) Gain freedom from traditional, siloed funding models & transactional activities that limit growth
4) Secure larger unrestricted $ from individuals, foundations, and businesses to create steady cash flow.
5) Escape from overly dependent funding models that rely on program, gov, or foundation revenue
6) Understand how to use their business expertise & CEO dialect to attract investment-level donors
7) Turn their advancement staff and board’s into high-ROI generators

📈 Work with me to diversify your revenue, scale your charitable dollars, and fully fund your growth budget // If you’re a business-minded CEO already GROWING but still need more gen-ops revenue, just DM with “grow.”

There's never been a better (or more important) time to invest in Capacity Building!

Maybe one of these scenarios sounds familiar:

☑️ You’re leading a national organization that’s growing fast, but it’s crucial for your regional leaders to help raise money alongside the HQ. That’s where you’re stuck. You’re wondering if they possess the fundraising skills and knowledge to ensure the entire organization is fully funded each year.

☑️Your organization has grown tremendously through mergers and acquisitions. Despite becoming an amazing operational and programmatic team, everybody must still fundraise for their part. But, because everyone is short on time, the entire team needs to learn how to align every hour they spend fundraising with maximum results.

☑️Your entire advancement team has grown and evolved so much over the years. They’re experts at securing government and foundation contracts, but cash flow remains tight, restricted, and you still don’t have enough money. You wonder if you could train them to secure more unrestricted donations from individuals, but aren’t sure how to start that process.

☑️You’re a Foundation that provides support to nonprofits. You know how much your funding and their work are needed in your community. You want to build capacity in the high-performing leaders you deeply believe in so that they can truly become sustainable and solve large problems. 

You may need someone to teach your team what to STOP doing so they can START attracting and securing larger unrestricted gifts from individuals.

So often, it takes a skilled, third-party, objective partner to start getting results. But, once you invest in doing that, you’ll be able to fully fund every aspect of your organization’s growth with a higher percentage of unrestricted funding. 

Your big vision is possible. But, you need to invest in the training, support, and tools your team needs to learn how to strategically raise funds.

Member and Contributor

Nonprofit providing capacity, advocacy, and fund development support to an established NGO in India working to improve orphan care.

As the organization’s first employee (outside of the founder), I was able to use my tactical operational and process skills, along with my creative sales drive, to grow it into a viable, thriving organization. Here I became an expert in translating a nonprofit’s grand vision into an executable strategy, plan, process, and infrastructure. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was creating the methodology I use today to level up nonprofit organization's revenue trajectory by 7-figures. 

I also played an integral role in establishing and managing the experience donors had with the organization which resulted in unrestricted revenue growth of 400% in 30 months. I managed the implementation of new CRM which enhanced donor engagement where the constituency grew by 300% through donor segmentation and consistent messaging.

With an eye toward establishing an efficient business, I oversaw the activities being performed by 20+ volunteers, eventually migrating the majority of them into staff or contract positions to greatly grow the legitimacy of the organization. The groundwork and infrastructure I set up for the organization still brings the organization the credibility and continued revenue growth it has today.

Today, my programs mirror this process I established years ago. With great success, I’ve been able to position myself as a nonprofit growth expert among a myriad of strategists, revenue consultants, and overall nonprofit service providers. 

If you are looking for a step-by-step path that allows you to do the same – empowers you to fully fund your nonprofit's mission, please connect with me here on LinkedIn by sending me a message.

Nonprofit Director

Ware Malcomb

Established the Chicago-area branch start-up for a National integrated design firm. Successfully grew Studio to reach strategic goals within one-year, solidifying the firm’s Midwest presence. Established, tracked, and reached revenue goals each year. Led creative direction and managed all interior projects for Midwest and East coast clients.

As a core team-member driving the Chicago-area startup, I was able to feed my entrepreneurial spirit by creating a successful Studio, reaching strategic goals each year, and solidifying the firm’s Midwest presence. 

Here, I honed my sales, data analysis, and financial tracking skills – I learned that I loved driving and reaching revenue goals while building deep relationships which led to repeat clients.

Core Start-up Team-member and Studio Manager

Whitney Architects

Successfully helped businesses grow in efficiency and revenue through great workplace design. As a team-member who went from a college intern to managing the company’s largest accounts, I learned how to execute the minutia while keeping my eye on the client’s big picture vision. 

Here, I learned the ability to think, act, and advise on both creative and technical outcomes was a unique skill.

Senior Project Manager

Helping Nonprofits scale unrestricted, gen-ops dollars to fund the infrastructure they need to grow their mission.

I advise business-minded, high-performing Nonprofit CEOs who are running great organizations that already secure millions every year.

But there's still a problem…they need MORE unrestricted money. 

They simply don’t have the steady, gen-ops revenue to support the growth initiatives within their strategic plans. 

They WANT to diversify funds or grow by 2X…5X…10X, but that’s difficult without dollars for infrastructure investments.

Perhaps you’re in the same situation?

What’s frustrating is you know your mission is deserving of MORE, but for years you’ve hovered at that same $8M or $20M mark. Or maybe you’re a $50M organization that’s growing, but the growth is in contracts, restricted government funds, or in-kind resources which leaves cash flow tight and gives you no flexibility.

Here’s the bottom line: It’s not a fundraising problem you have to fix first. 

(Believe me. The sector’s chatter will say you can solve this problem with a better digital campaign, better social media, a better grant writer, a better board, or a better PR strategy.)

This could help in some way for some period of time.

But it’s not the real change you need to make. 

You’ll never fully reach your true revenue potential unless you remove what’s blocking your unrestricted revenue growth at the root of your organization. These are the things that:
🛑KEEP large donors from knowing how to deeply invest in your mission. 
🛑KEEP your reserve fund from growing. 
🛑KEEP your staff and board from reaching your revenue goal each year. 
🛑And, most importantly, KEEP you from scaling by 2X, 5X, and beyond.

THAT’S THE EXACT PROBLEM I SOLVE.

Sherry Quam Taylor

Nonprofit CEOs: You know one thing that I get really tired of fighting against in this sector?

Generalizations.

You know, generalizations like when the news said “most nonprofits can’t survive this pandemic!” and now in 2025 …”giving is down because of the economy and other wildness in the world!”

Well, two of my clients each secured 7- and 6- figure gifts in the last few weeks….in the ‘down economy’. (P.S. Not front line/food/SNAP related)

It’s exhausting. 

A few years ago I read The Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham. One of the chapters is about these BIG GENERALIZATIONS, and how they kill clarity. 

I find big generalizations also keep us from even creating achievable plans.

We start defeated.

Now, in the #nonprofit sector, we’re used to big false generalizations put upon us:

...We’ll always struggle financially because we’re a nonprofit.
...Donors never want to give toward overhead.
...We won’t get funding if we have too much money in the bank.
…Donors only want to fund projects.

These aren’t true.

There’s a practical, straightforward path to being fully funded. But, it feels counterintuitive. And that’s often misinterpreted as being risky. 

But it’s not risky. It’s a calculated risk that looks a lot like running a successful, growing business. 

So, are you with me as we prep to head into the new year?

Helping nonprofit execs diversify revenue, scale philanthropy, and secure more gen-ops dollars so they create sustainable orgs.
