What is Fractional Fundraising Network
Fractional Fundraising Network connects small nonprofits and the Fractional Fundraisers that serve them. It is a movement that reimagines traditional fundraising by pairing experienced fundraisers with organizations that are making a difference. Instead of offering just advice and then walking away, Fractional Fundraisers engage in strategic implementation—actually doing the work and moving the needle. The approach is not only about service but about transforming the way fundraising happens so that small nonprofits gain the consistent, hands-on support they need while allowing dedicated fundraisers to find meaning, flexibility, and profitability. It’s all about building connections that matter… connections that empower impact.

The Fractional Fundraising Movement
The movement is about a different kind of consulting—a model for fundraisers who are looking to shift gears. With a mindset that challenges the burnout of the traditional 9-5, fundraisers find a path that is both meaningful and profitable. Instead of juggling roles as a business owner, therapist, admin, and emergency hotline, fundraisers now have access to opportunities that let them focus on what they do best. This movement isn’t merely theoretical; it is a practical shift toward impactful, hands-on work that ensures small nonprofits receive the strategic support they deserve. It’s a wake-up call for those tired of playing small.
Consulting Without the Burnout
Some fundraisers left their traditional jobs expecting change, but the dysfunction can follow even after leaving. Many have found themselves writing proposals at midnight, dodging scope creep, and apologizing for their rates before hitting send. The pressure to do it all can be overwhelming… and it doesn’t have to be that way. With a clear focus on implementing strategy and real work rather than endlessly chasing advice, this model redefines how consultancy is done. Rather than sacrificing personal goals for professional commitments, fundraisers are shown a pathway that brings balance, clarity, and genuine respect for their expertise.
Empowering Nonprofit Professionals
This approach isn’t just for seasoned consultants. Nonprofit professionals who have grown tired of playing small can now embrace a consulting path that offers clarity, fair compensation, and respect for their time. Whether still in-house, dreaming of a consultancy role, or already taking the leap and juggling too many roles, these professionals find a solution that avoids hustle culture. There is a refreshing focus on working with clients who appreciate strategic implementation rather than expecting constant availability. It’s about breaking free from the scarcity mindset that often plagues the nonprofit sector and stepping into a world of abundance.

Building a Business That Matters and Rewards Impact
Building a successful business is about more than just numbers—it’s about funding a mission without sacrificing personal ambitions. Fundraisers are encouraged to set rates that not only reflect their true value but also disrupt norms that force them to undercharge. The promise is a business model where a well-respected nonprofit lands a consultant who values their time, fees, and expertise. Take a vacation without the nagging guilt of unanswered emails, and even the client who treats the consultant as a 24/7 staff can be let go without financial sacrifice. With a proven track record and no-nonsense approach, this model shows that it is entirely possible to have both impact and ease.
