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 |
I help small and mid-sized nonprofits across Canada strengthen their fundraising systems and grow individual giving programs that last. With more than twenty years of experience in healthcare and social impact organizations, I’ve raised millions for causes that change lives. Now I support nonprofits through fractional fundraising services, systems consulting, and practical guidance tailored to their stage of growth. At Collaborative Cause Consulting, my team and I focus on helping organizations build sustainable individual giving programs—from donor stewardship and annual campaigns to peer-to-peer fundraising and fundraising infrastructure. We combine strategy with hands-on implementation so you can focus on what matters most: your mission. Subscribe for bite-sized, actionable stewardship and fundraising tips designed for small shops. Each email offers practical advice you can read over coffee and use the same day to deepen donor relationships and strengthen your systems.
