| Plan | Team hours per month | Monthly fee | Three-month total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Advisory and targeted support | 16 | $3,200 | Month to month |
| Implementation | 32 | $6,000 | $18,000 |
| Embedded leadership | 64 | $11,600 | $34,800 |
| Expanded embedded leadership | 96 | $15,000 | $45,000 |
| Deep embedded leadership | 128 | $18,000 | $54,000 |
| Full capacity assignment | 160 | $21,000 | $63,000 |
The 16-hour plan may be booked for one month. Plans of 32 hours or more have a three-month initial term, paid monthly in advance. Hours are total team hours, including preparation, meetings, delivery, and principal oversight. Extra time requires approval at $225 per hour.
Why choose a month instead of a day?
The 32-hour plan can include one Working Day, using ten hours, plus 22 hours to carry the work forward. Purchased separately, that costs $7,150. The $6,000 monthly plan saves $1,150 and provides a continuing delivery relationship.
One day. Work you can use.
Bring us a priority that needs focused attention. We use the day to make decisions, build practical tools, and leave your team ready to act. Available onsite or remotely; travel is separate.
| Working session | Time | What we accomplish |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnose and decide | 2 hours | Review the current position, identify obstacles, and choose the highest-value priorities. |
| Build together | 3 hours | Develop the selected tool and work through actual fundraising, customer, growth, or operating decisions. |
| Practice and assign | 2 hours | Prepare leadership for conversations, set responsibilities, and build the next-step schedule. |
| Complete and launch | 1 hour | Review the work, make final decisions, and agree on the first 30 days of action. |
Included with every Working Day
- One hour of advance intake and document review.
- Eight client-facing working hours, with breaks additional.
- A prioritized findings summary and 30-day action plan with owners and dates.
- One practical tool for the selected workstream.
- One hour for the written handoff and a 30-minute follow-up call.
Choose the tool your team needs
Nonprofits: a cultivation map for up to ten existing prospects, a mission-tour run of show, an appeal draft, or a readiness map for up to five funding opportunities.
Businesses: positioning for one offer, a next-step pipeline for up to ten existing opportunities, a three-email customer outreach sequence, or a workflow map for one operating process.
Each day focuses on one primary workstream. Written deliverables arrive within five business days when required materials are available. The package includes ten professional hours in total; within a monthly plan, those ten hours come from the existing allocation.
For nonprofits.
Major gifts, planned giving, institutional funding, and the systems that make good fundraising possible. Choose a fixed project or use a monthly plan to carry the work forward.
Major gifts and donor relationships
| Service | Professional fee | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| Major donor cultivation plan | $5,500 | Up to 15 existing prospects; priorities, individual next steps, ask-readiness criteria, and a 90-day cultivation calendar. |
| Major donor program launch | $7,500 | Cultivation plan for 15 existing prospects; one mission-tour run of show with three program stops; invitation and three follow-up templates; one 90-minute staff and board training. |
| Solicitation preparation | $2,500 | Up to three donor briefing and ask plans using supplied information; tailored funding opportunities; one 90-minute rehearsal with leadership. |
| Portfolio management and stewardship | $6,000 per month | 32 total team hours; agreed portfolio of up to 15 active prospects; cultivation, meeting preparation, approved donor conversations, follow-up, and pipeline reporting. Three-month initial term. |
The program launch includes its cultivation plan. Portfolio management uses the existing 32-hour monthly plan, rather than an additional fee. Activity is prioritized within the hours reserved; the client defines its major-gift threshold.
Planned giving and legacy development
| Service | Professional fee | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| Planned giving readiness assessment | $3,500 | Review five existing documents; two stakeholder interviews; program readiness findings, gift acceptance policy recommendations, and an adviser referral process. |
| Legacy giving program launch | $6,500 | Readiness review; three interviews; legacy case narrative up to 750 words; one invitation letter and two emails; prospect review for up to 15 existing supporters; one 90-minute training; a 90-day launch plan. |
| Legacy donor communications | $2,250 | One legacy invitation letter up to 750 words; three stewardship emails; one acknowledgement template. |
| Ongoing planned giving support | $6,000 per month | 32 total team hours for donor identification, relationship development, legacy intentions tracking, stewardship, and coordination with client-approved advisers. Three-month initial term. |
The legacy launch includes its readiness review. Major-donor and planned-giving work may share one monthly allocation, so selecting both does not automatically double the fee.
These services cover fundraising strategy, donor engagement, communications, and program development. Qualified external advisers handle estate documents, tax and investment advice, valuations, and trusts or estate administration. Client counsel reviews legal and tax language.
Fundraising projects and development systems
| Service | Professional fee | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| Fundraising assessment | $4,500 | Review up to ten documents; three stakeholder interviews; findings and a 90-day action plan. |
| Case for support | $3,500 | Two interviews; one narrative up to 2,000 words; a one-page donor summary. |
| Foundation proposal | $2,500 | One nonfederal application, narrative up to 3,000 words, and one client-supplied budget review. |
| Donor communications package | $2,250 | One appeal up to 750 words, three emails, and one acknowledgement template. |
| Development CRM review | $3,000 | Review one existing system; sample up to 500 records; findings, workflow map, and implementation checklist. |
Each fixed project includes one kickoff, one review meeting, and one consolidated revision round. Research databases, graphic design, printing, bulk data cleanup, CRM configuration, federal applications, submission, and donor event production are separately approved additional services or outside costs.
For businesses.
Our business focus is corporate giving strategy: purposeful contributions, nonprofit partnerships, credible communications, and shared-value measurement. Giving strategy and partnership assignments use the firm hourly rates, Working Days, or monthly capacity above, with responsibilities agreed before work begins. The fixed project menu below also remains available for defined communications and broader business assignments.
Fixed communications and business projects
| Service | Professional fee | What is included |
|---|---|---|

| Customer communications package | $2,250 | One promotional or customer letter up to 750 words; three emails; one follow-up template for a single offer. |
| Business launch or relaunch plan | $4,500 | One offer; review of supplied materials; three stakeholder interviews; launch message framework, channel priorities, and a 90-day launch calendar. |
Each project includes one kickoff, one review meeting, and one consolidated revision round. Graphic design, website production, CRM configuration, bulk data cleanup, ongoing content publishing, and event production are separately approved additional services. Advertising, printing, software, and outside production costs are approved expenses.
