This is for Executive Directors whose fundraising has gone reactive, whose donor relationships keep getting deprioritized, and whose org can't pursue the growth opportunities in front of it — because the structure hasn't kept up.
Over 90 days I come in, map where the org has outgrown its systems, build the structure that closes the gaps, and hand off a nonprofit where the ED is back to doing the work that actually grows the organization.
Month 1: Seed
We find the gaps.
Start with a goal-setting session — getting clear on where the org needs to go and what success looks like at the end of 90 days
Map how decisions are currently being made — and where they're getting stuck
Identify what's landing on the ED that shouldn't be
Review existing systems, workflows, and documentation
Understand the team structure and where ownership is unclear
Set clear priorities for what needs to change and in what order
Month 2: Grow
We build the systems.
Redesign decision making and approval structures so the team can move without the ED
Define ownership clearly across the team
Build workflows for operations, communications, and funding
Document processes so nothing lives only in someone's head anymore
Create systems the team can actually use — not a generic playbook
Month 3: Harvest
We make it stick.
Train the team on new systems and workflows
Refine based on real use and feedback
Finalize all documentation and processes
Hand off a nonprofit that runs confidently without you
the 90-day Fractional Engagement
This engagement is for you if:
You're the Executive Director of a growing nonprofit in the $500K–$3M revenue range
Your fundraising is reactive, donor relationships keep getting deprioritized, and growth opportunities keep getting pushed because the ED has no bandwidth
Everything still runs through you — decisions, approvals, questions, all of it
You're ready to fix the structure, not just patch the symptoms
What you walk away with
At the end of 90 days you'll have:
An organizational map showing exactly where decisions were getting stuck and why
A decision making framework so your team knows what they can handle without you
A systems and operations playbook — documented processes the whole team can follow
Team training and workflow walkthroughs so nobody is guessing how things work
An implementation health check making sure the systems are actually being used
A final recap and next steps so the org knows how to maintain momentum after I leave
