my copywriting & strategy Services

Three ways to work together.


Get-IT-DONE DAY

Stumped or out of time to write your next direct mail piece or email series? Need an updated Case for Support as of yesterday? Need an assessment of your donor comms and tips for a glow-up?

Let’s get it DONE.

For one intensive day, you get my undivided attention on a donor comms project. And you get a real bargain on the pricing, to boot (my project-based work starts at $2,500!)

Goodbye procrastination, drawn-out process, and over-work. Hello to your next fundraising campaign hitting it out of the park — with less stress and greater ease.

Your investment is $1,200.

A Year of custom SUPPORT

A longer-term working relationship allows us to really move the dial on your donor communications.

This longer-term support fills gaps in your staff bandwidth and/or expertise. Customized to your needs, it’s a mix of “done with you” and “done for you.” We start with a donor comms assessment before moving on to strategy and copywriting.

My annual clients have been so happy with their outcomes, some have been working with me for 5+ years!

Your investment starts at $3,000/month.

copywriting

Consciously crafted writing grows 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 insights from psychology + 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.
