Nonprofit fundraising consulting FAQ

What does a nonprofit fundraising consultant do?+

A nonprofit fundraising consultant designs the systems, strategies, and data infrastructure a development office needs to raise more predictable revenue — from annual fund and major gifts frameworks to CRM implementation, campaign management, and donor stewardship workflows. At Strategize Your Solutions we can advise, embed with your team, or run the entire development operation on your behalf.

How much does a Raiser's Edge consultant cost?+

Raiser's Edge NXT engagements typically start with a scoped audit (two to four weeks) or a project-based retainer. Ongoing RE NXT administration, custom queries, imports, and reporting are often billed as a monthly retainer sized to your database volume and team capacity. We provide a fixed quote after a short discovery call.

Do you run capital campaigns for nonprofits?+

Yes. We provide feasibility and planning studies, campaign management from quiet phase through celebration, and the fundraising infrastructure — CRM, prospect research, gift acceptance policies, dashboards — that a comprehensive or capital campaign requires.

Which CRMs do you support?+

Raiser's Edge NXT is our primary platform, and most of our clients run on it. We also work in Salesforce NPSP, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, Virtuous, NGP VAN, and NationBuilder — especially for data migration, integration, and reporting engagements.

Can you build a development office from scratch?+

Yes. For organizations without an in-house development team, we design the operation — fundraising calendar, gift workflows, moves management, donor strategy — stand it up, and then run it: launching appeals, cultivating and soliciting donors, and processing every gift, either long-term or until you're ready to hire internally.
