Erin P.

I help small and mid-size nonprofits build fundraising strategy and implement the donor CRMs their teams actually use. 25 years in the sector as a development director, operations consultant, and systems implementer. I bring fundraising fluency and technical depth in the same person, which most nonprofit consulting engagements ask two people to deliver. Recent work on Upwork: I served as fundraising operations lead for a mid-size nonprofit, first working alongside their grants consultant on top-line strategy, then leading a full CRM migration and implementation. In a parallel engagement, I designed and led a two-phase Asana rollout for a 30-person professional association, moving them from an email-and-institutional-memory model to a shared project management system with clear ownership and full team adoption within 90 days. What I typically deliver: Fundraising strategy Development plan design and execution Major gift program build Capital campaign strategy and readiness Fundraising audits and gap analysis Board fundraising coaching CRM implementation and cleanup Bloomerang, Raiser's Edge, Virtuous, Salesforce Nonprofit Data migration and donor file cleanup Pipeline configuration, segmentation, and reporting Staff training and adoption coaching Operations and systems Asana and project management system implementation Workflow design and change management Who I work with. Executive directors, development directors, and operations leaders at nonprofits with $500K to $5M in annual revenue. Healthcare, higher education, professional associations, and community-based nonprofits. The rate listed reflects deliberate availability while I onboard new clients through summer.
