Fundraising With Heart, Strategy, and Support
Fundraising doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, lonely, or like something you just “have to get through.” With the right support, it can feel clear, energizing, and even—dare we say—inspiring.
At Connection Collaborative, our fundraising consulting services are designed to help nonprofit leaders build lasting relationships, craft strategies that actually fit, and raise more money without losing themselves in the process. Whether you’re just starting to fundraise or looking to grow and deepen what’s already working, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.
Why Work With Fundraising Consultants?
You’re juggling a lot: delivering services, supporting your team, showing up for your community—and somewhere in there, you’re also supposed to raise more money.
That’s where fundraising consultants come in. A great fundraising consulting firm can help you:
● Get clear on your goals and how to reach them
● Refresh or reimagine your donor communications
● Launch a capital campaign with confidence
● Strengthen your case for support
● Build a donor pipeline rooted in genuine connection
Working with fundraising consulting firms isn’t about outsourcing your mission—it’s about strengthening your strategy, capacity, and confidence. We’re not here to take over; we’re here to build alongside you.

Your story matters. We’ll work with you to craft a compelling case for support that resonates with donors, reflects your values, and connects directly to the impact you’re making.
Foundation, Corporate, and Major Donor Outreach
We’ll support you in identifying, writing, and pitching to foundations, high-net-worth individuals, and corporate partners who align with your work. From research to relationship-building to proposal writing, we’ll help you bring new champions to your mission.
