How it works:

Once you sign up, I will reach out to schedule a Zoom session (typically at least one week from the time of booking).

Prior to our meeting, you’ll complete a short intake form to help me better understand your organization, goals, and current challenges. You’ll also have the option to share materials you would like me to review in advance.

This preparation allows us to make the most of our time together and focus on practical, meaningful next steps tailored to your organization.

During our one-hour session, we’ll work at a pace that supports your learning, questions, and goals, with space for brainstorming, problem-solving, and honest conversation.

Afterward, you’ll receive a follow-up summary including:

  • Key takeaways

  • Suggested top priorities

  • Recommended next steps

  • Additional resources and tools, as appropriate

What this session does not include:

  • A long-term commitment or sales push

  • A grant-writing/appeal writing or editing session

  • One-size-fits-all advice or cookie-cutter solutions 

  • Judgment, shame, or assumptions about where your organization is today

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this session best suited for?

This session is ideal for any nonprofit staff or volunteer tasked with fundraising. Development professionals, Executive Directors, and Board members alike are welcome to learn and grow with me. 

Can more than one person attend?

Up to two people can attend the session. For larger groups, contact me about pricing options. 

What if I’m brand new to fundraising?

Perfect! I was once brand new to fundraising as well. I can support your learning no matter what your experience level is - my goal is to meet you where you are at and help guide you to the next stage. 

Will Angel review my materials in advance?

I can review some materials in advance, with the goal of understanding your organization’s current approach and providing guidance on next steps. This service does not include review of grant applications or appeal letters, or other fundraising materials for feedback or edits. If this is a service you need, let me know and I can recommend other consultants who provide editing services. 

Will this be customized to my organization?

Absolutely. Every organization is unique in their needs, services, revenue structure, approach and capacity. I don’t believe there is a one size fits all approach to fundraising. This is why I ask you to complete an intake form prior to our meeting, to help me get to know your organization a bit better. 

What if I need additional support afterward?

I do provide on-going consulting support to a limited number of clients. If you like my approach and want to continue working with me, we can set up a time to discuss these services for a later date.
