Let’s Talk About Your Mission

How We Help

You’re leading a nonprofit with big goals and a small team and when it comes to fundraising, it’s easy to feel behind, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.

That’s where I come in.

I started Marci Bradley Consulting after nearly a decade of working inside nonprofit organizations and realizing just how many leaders were doing everything without the support or structure they truly needed. I’ve worn the hat of a one-person development shop, and I know firsthand what it feels like to be stretched way too thin.

I built my consulting framework to help small-but-mighty teams find their rhythm, build sustainable systems, and fundraise with clarity and confidence without burning themselves out along the way.

Here’s what our work together can look like:

Align Your Mission:
We start by getting crystal clear on your mission, vision, and goals and making sure your fundraising efforts match where you’re headed. This could mean creating your fundraising plan, refreshing your case for support, or making sure your impact is front and center.

Cultivate Your Systems:
Next, we take a look under the hood - donor databases, stewardship processes, communication rhythms — and figure out where things could be easier, smarter, and more sustainable. Maybe it’s setting up a monthly donor follow-up plan. Maybe it’s helping your board get more involved. Either way, we’ll make sure your systems support your goals (not add to your overwhelm).

Tell Your Story:
Finally, we craft the words that move people to action. From donor emails to event scripts to major gift conversations, we’ll build a fundraising language library that feels authentic to you and powerful to your supporters. So when it’s time to make the ask, you’ll have everything you need at your fingertips.

Whether you’re looking for a strategic refresh, stronger systems, or a more powerful way to tell your story, I’m here to help you build fundraising momentum and make it sustainable for the long haul.
