Frequently Asked Questions


What kind of nonprofits do you work with?

I specialize in supporting small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations, especially those in the early stages of growth or going through a transition. I love working with purpose-driven founders, new executive leaders, or scrappy teams who are ready to level up but don’t want to lose the heart behind their mission.

What services do you offer as a nonprofit consultant?

My services include:

  • Strategic planning

  • Fundraising campaign design and grant support

  • Board training and development

  • Operations planning and system setup

  • Interim or fractional leadership roles (like Director of Development or Operations)

  • Speaking, training, and facilitation for events or retreats

All my services are designed to be collaborative, practical, and tailored to your mission.

What is a fractional nonprofit consultant?

A fractional consultant is someone who joins your team in a part-time leadership role (like a Director of Development or Operations) for a set amount of time. You get the experience and insight of a seasoned professional without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. I usually recommend this model when you need hands-on leadership to build systems, strategy, or culture from the inside out.

How do your retainer services work?

If you choose to work with me on a monthly retainer, I become your go-to strategic partner. It’s like having a seasoned second brain (and a hype person) in your corner. We set an hourly cap per month, and I flex across whatever your priorities are: fundraising, planning, systems, team support, or just figuring out the next right step.

Can you help me write a strategic plan for my nonprofit?

Yes! Strategic planning is one of my core offerings. I’ll guide you through a collaborative process that helps you name what matters most, clarify your goals, and create a plan that’s actually doable (not something that just sits in a Google Drive). Whether you're just starting out or ready to refresh your focus, I’ll help you build a roadmap with heart and strategy.

How much do your services cost?

Because every organization is different, pricing depends on the scope of work. I offer flexible models including project-based fees, fractional leadership packages, and retainers. The best way to get started is to book a complimentary call so we can talk about your needs and what might be the best fit for your budget.

Do you only work with organizations in Arkansas?

Not at all! While I'm proudly based in Northwest Arkansas and love supporting my local community, I work with mission-driven organizations across the USA. Most of my services can be offered virtually, and I am willing to travel for retreats, board trainings, and strategic facilitation when needed.

Do you offer support for brand new nonprofits?

Absolutely. Starting a nonprofit can be overwhelming! I can help you clarify your mission, set up foundational systems, train your board, and build a fundraising strategy that works. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

What makes you different from other nonprofit consultants?

I’ve been in the trenches myself: writing the grants, running the events, strategizing with the board, and trying to do it all with limited resources. I show up with strategy and empathy. My work is grounded in equity, accessibility, and care, and I’m not here to impress you with jargon. I’m here to make sure your mission has the foundation and fuel to thrive.
