Collaborative Cause Consulting

Get the team you need, without hiring one.

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.

Hi Reader,This month marks one year since I launched Collaborative Cause Consulting and I’m feeling incredibly grateful to be doing this work every day.
