I help nonprofits grow their funding without growing their staff

As the leader of an early-stage or small nonprofit, you have an ambitious vision for change. You need to raise funds to reach your vision, but time and expertise are in short supply. On a small budget, hiring a full time experienced development professional is likely out of reach. Bringing in a consultant might give you a plan, but leaves you without support for execution. Sound familiar? What’s a busy CEO to do?

That's where I come in. I created my business specifically for you – providing an affordable solution for nonprofit leaders who need both strategic guidance and hands-on implementation. By working with me, you get the full package: a fundraising strategist, guide, and doer-behind-the-scenes, for less than you’d pay a full-time junior fundraiser.

Working with Ruth has transformed my approach to fundraising. Before working with Ruth I felt like an outsider in funder spaces. Now I feel prepared and capable of sharing the value of our organization and how our work aligns with the strategic goals of potential funders. We are seeing great progress as a result — doubling our funding in 12 month’s time.
