REAL ways

we can help.

  • Strategic Planning

    Or a fancy way to describe honing in on your vision, mission, values, and goals. Let’s spend some time vision-boarding, idea-logging, and mind-mapping.

  • Storytelling

    Whether you’re hoping to inspire a movement, build a network, or attract funding, you must be able to articulate who you are, what you want to accomplish, and how you’re going to do it.

  • Fundraising Strategy

    Let’s be REAL. No one wants to talk about fundraising. The truth is it’s all about relationships. Let’s work together to make your fundraising strategy more “people-centric” rather than revenue-focused.

  • Maximize & Expand Partnerships

    Let’s work together to review your existing and potential partnerships with donors to see where there is room to grow.

  • Donor Communication

    People want to be approached, asked, thanked, and engaged in a variety of ways. It’s time to change how we talk to reach the next generation of people who want to be generous.

  • Social Impact

    Demonstrating in a measurable way that your efforts made a difference is crucial to the sustainability of your mission. Let’s work together to develop frameworks and metrics so you can show your organization’s value.

Let's Work Together!

ABOUT
MADISON

“I believe fundraising and non-profit development can be natural, life-giving, and FUN! With more than 11 years of experience in non-profit development, I have witnessed how many organizations prioritize process over partnership, metrics over mission, and transactions over transformation. On the flip side, I’ve seen non-profits scale and achieve their desired impact when they have a clear strategic plan and a fundraising strategy that emphasizes relationships.

“My Bachelor’s degree is in Politics and my Master’s degree is in Public Health (MPH) - both intentional areas of study because I know that making a difference in the world often happens at multiple levels. The news is bad and global issues facing our world continue to be disheartening; yet, I know that non-profit organizations that are well-poised and well-resourced can make a real impact on the issues facing our world today.

“I’m excited to work with you!”
