I help nonprofits grow meaningful donor relationships and abundant generosity.

i’m on a mission for…

The wellbeing of donors, fundraisers, communities, and everyone we serve. I believe we get there by remembering philanthropy’s roots as generous love. The most powerful tool we have to grow this love? Conscious communication.

fundraising friend, I’ve got you

Together we’ll grow full-hearted giving

You’re overstretched and understaffed. You’re trying to wear all the hats, all the time. And you care deeply about your work, but you’re at risk of losing your spark. Anything here sound familiar?

Nice to meet you!

I get you. And I’ve got you.

Fundraising can be a lonely profession – inside our organizations and out in our communities. But it doesn’t have to be.

I help nonprofit leaders like you build lasting relationships with true believers, raise more money, and feel more supported in fundraising.

I meet a specialized need all nonprofits have, but few can cover with staff skill sets and workloads. My clients trust me to bridge development and communications, mentor on messaging, and write effective copy.

By working with me, nonprofit leaders remember how rewarding fundraising can feel. Donors feel connected, cared for, and inspired for generosity.

-Rachel Muir, CFRE
"WE’VE SEEN SUCH A POSITIVE EFFECT IN OUR INDIVIDUAL GIVING AFTER PARTNERING WITH SARAH. SHE EXPLAINS NOT JUST THE HOW OF FUNDRAISING, BUT THE WHY. WHY OUR DONORS GIVE, WHY ONE APPROACH WORKS BETTER THAN ANOTHER... WHY DONOR COMMUNICATION IS VITAL AND DIFFERENT FROM OUR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS."
-Eli Webster, ASOC
