    From the problem to your next step

    1. 01

      Describe the problem

      Tell us where income is getting stuck, what you have tried, and what your team can act on.

    2. 02

      Read your diagnosis

      See the likely constraint and a suggested starting point before choosing whether to speak with us.

    3. 03

      Choose your next step

      Continue to the booking form, use a practical guide, or join the 2027 waitlist if delivery support is what you need.

    What happens in the hour

    One focused hour to examine the decision, agree priorities and set your next actions.

    1. 0-10 min

      1. The decision

      You describe the live fundraising question, the numbers at stake, and what a good answer looks like to your board or team.

    2. 10-30 min

      2. Diagnose the constraint

      We locate the real bottleneck, whether it is donor volume, gift size, retention, concentration risk, or internal alignment.

    3. 30-50 min

      3. Build the plan

      We sequence the moves that change the result, including what to stop, what to start, and what to measure in the next 90 days.

    4. 50-60 min

      4. Next steps

      You leave with a written summary, a clear owner for each action, and a follow-up checkpoint two weeks later.

    Who this is for

    • Executive directors preparing a board recommendation
    • Development directors stuck between targets and capacity
    • Board chairs questioning a campaign go or no-go
    • Teams facing one major gift or institutional ask that cannot be rehearsed

    What you leave with

    • A clear decision on the live fundraising problem
    • A board-ready rationale with numbers attached
    • A 90-day action plan with owners and metrics
    • A follow-up checkpoint to keep momentum

    Common questions

    Who is this session for?
    Executive directors, development leads, and board chairs facing a high-stakes fundraising decision: a campaign go or no-go, a major gift approach, a pivot in strategy, or a case for support that is not landing.
    How is this different from the waitlist?
    The waitlist is for project and retainer engagements, where we take on delivery. A consulting session is a single working hour. You can book it now, without an application and without a long commitment.
    What does it cost?
    $850 USD for a single one-hour session. A package of four sessions over eight weeks is $3,000 USD. Payment is confirmed at booking.
    What should I prepare?
    The question you want answered, and any numbers or documents that bear on it. We send a short discovery brief once your time is confirmed so the hour goes to the decision, not to context setting.
