Services & No Guarantees

I provide consulting services related to monthly giving strategy, donor retention, messaging, and fundraising planning for nonprofit organizations.

While my work is grounded in best practices and experience, results are not guaranteed. Fundraising outcomes depend on many factors outside my control, including organizational capacity, donor behavior, market conditions, and implementation choices.

All payment obligations must be met according to the agreed schedule.
