my copywriting & strategy Services
Three ways to work together.
A DONOR COMMS PROJECT
An audit of your donor comms, with recommendations for growth.
A new or refreshed Case for Support.
A Message Platform to clarify and unify your talking points.
A fundraising campaign with email, website, and/or direct mail appeals.
A donor newsletter that makes your supporters feel great about giving.
Goodbye to DIY-ing it, burning yourself out and going without expert support. Hello to growing your fundraising — with less stress and a lot more ease.

FRACTIONAL SUPPORT
Your fundraising team gets a donor communications expert to support your strategy, planning, AND do your copywriting on a monthly retainer — for a fraction of the cost of a full-time staff member.
This is THE solution for nonprofits who have small (or nonexistent) development and comms teams.
Fractional support on an interim basis can also be a lifesaver during staff transitions.
We’ll work together for a minimum of six months. But many fractional clients have wanted a longer-term relationship to keep the momentum growing. (I’m currently in year six with one amazing client team.)
TRAINING
Want your team to DIY fundraising campaigns and other donor communications that raise more money and grow lasting donor relationships?
Want to help your development and communications teams understand each other better and work together in harmony?
A custom training with me smooths out the rough edges, breathes new energy into your fundraising, and pays off for years to come.
copywriting
HUMAN creativity grows HUMAN relationships.
Inspired people respond with “Me, too!” and “I’m in!,” instead of “So what?”
What if you could strike a memorable chord in a noisy world? What if you could truly connect with your supporters’ hearts, for an enduring emotional connection to your cause?
What if you could move more supporters to give more, more often, while feeling so good about it?
You can! A skilled fundraising copywriter can breathe new life into your appeals, stewardship, and cultivation – across channels from digital to direct mail.
I see good copywriting – powered by data, donor psychology, and genuine love – work fundraising miracles every day. And it can happen for you! Your donors deserve it. So does your mission and everyone you serve.
donor comms strategy
CONSCIOUSLY CRAFTED STRATEGY GROWS GIVING.
Communication that grows relationships and giving doesn’t happen by accident, or on the fly. It comes from a skilled and informed approach – a conscious strategy.
What if you had a strategy to give your donors consistent, compelling communication? What if your donors could hear from you in ways that are most meaningful to them?
What if you could fulfill your organization’s promise and potential? Surprise, delight, and empower your donors and everyone you serve? Find greater ease in your fundraising?
I’m here for it! Powered by insights from psychology and genuine love…get ready to see your donor comms shine. Get ready to grow lasting donor relationships, raise more, and enjoy it more.
