Rebecca T.

Nonprofit Strategy Consultant & Grant Writing Expert

I’m a nonprofit strategy, fundraising, and grant writing professional with 20+ years of experience helping organizations strengthen funding, improve operations, and build systems that support long-term growth. I’ve spent the last 8 years as an Executive Director, so I understand nonprofit challenges from the inside. Not just as a consultant, but as someone responsible for budgets, boards, staff, and results. I work primarily with small to mid-sized nonprofits (under $1M budgets), membership organizations, and community-based or grassroots programs. My approach blends strategic planning, fund development, and execution, ensuring organizations not only raise more funds but also operate more clearly and sustainably. What I help with: Nonprofit strategy & capacity-building Fund development planning and donor strategy Grant research, writing, and submission management Annual, End-of-year & Giving Tuesday campaigns Case for Support and messaging frameworks Donor and membership systems (CRM/AMS, reporting, workflows) Board-ready fundraising tools and communications Funding pipelines, grant calendars, and sustainability planning I’ve secured funding from foundations, corporations, and government sources, led organizational strategy and growth initiatives, and built fundraising systems that increased donor retention and year-over-year revenue. My background spans youth development, education, health, and community-based nonprofits. Clients value working with me because I’m: Strategic but practical Detail-oriented and deadline-driven Collaborative and easy to work with Focused on solutions that teams can maintain long after the project ends If you’re looking for a trusted partner who can help align mission, strategy, and funding, I’d be glad to support your work.
