Hi Reader, Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of supporting small and mid-sized nonprofits across Canada - especially organizations with passionate teams, big goals, and limited internal fundraising capacity. These are the kinds of nonprofits where the Executive Director wears three hats, and fundraising happens between programs, grant deadlines, and late nights finishing annual reports. I love helping these teams move from scattered to strategic—building individual giving programs, improving systems, and creating space for donor relationships to grow. What started as a solo consulting practice has grown into a small, purpose-driven agency model. I continue to lead strategy and client relationships directly, but now have a trusted team supporting key areas like donor systems, campaign implementation, and storytelling - so clients get the benefit of broad expertise without the overhead of a full-time team. Our fundraisers and specialists are based across Canada - from Nova Scotia to British Columbia - which allows us to support organizations in a variety of contexts while staying deeply connected to the sector. I’m originally from Ontario, and now, two years into living in Nova Scotia, I’m especially excited to deepen my work in Atlantic Canada and connect with more local organizations doing meaningful work in their communities. If you know of a nonprofit in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, or Newfoundland that could use this kind of support, I’d be so grateful if you’d pass my name along, or feel free to connect us directly. Thank you for being part of this journey. I feel incredibly fortunate to do this work alongside people who care deeply about their communities. Tanya Wall |

It is figuring out what your team can realistically maintain while still building strong donor relationships and moving fundraising forward.

Welcome Hi Reader, Many nonprofits want new supporters to feel welcomed from the start. But when that experience is inconsistent, the problem is often not the message itself.
