Practical Support for Fundraisers Who Want Results
I pour armloads of thought and care into every coaching session, training, and workshop I create.
As your partner in fundraising communications, I’ll help you connect more deeply with supporters and reach your fundraising goals with confidence.
Your feedback is FLAWLESS. It just burst with care, and love, and encouragement. PERFECTION!!!! Never change, Chris.

Two Ways We Can Work Together
Write Fundraising Copy That Works — With Expert Coaching
You’ve got a draft — but is it ready to move donors?
Maybe you wrote it yourself. Maybe AI helped (no judgment!). Either way, you want to be sure it’s strong, clear, and compelling before you hit send.
That’s where I come in.
Copy Coaching with Chris is a custom review of your fundraising writing — delivered quickly and efficiently, so you get the expert guidance you need without delay.
I don’t just edit your draft — I walk you through exactly how to make it better, and why. That way, you’ll know what works and can use those skills in everything you write.
In a short while, these improvements will help you nurture genuine donor relationships, encourage lasting support, AND raise more money.

Your fundraising partner, problem-solver, and cheerleader.
Sometimes you need more than a strong appeal or a polished draft.
You need a thinking partner. Someone who can help you see the big picture, untangle the tricky bits, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
I can help.
Work with me on retainer for longer-term projects or on an on-call project-by-project basis.
Whether it’s strategy, systems, communications, or training, we’ll build the plan together — then I’ll help you bring it to life.
Here are a few projects I can help you tackle:
Campaign planning - map out your next big win with confidence
Annual appeal calendars - keep your fundraising humming all year long
Donor communications audits - sharpen your messaging and make every word count
Case for support development - craft stories that inspire giving
Culture of philanthropy support - for boards and staff who want to spark real change
Monthly donor program strategy - grow your base, month after month
Fundraising writing training session - level up your team’s skills
Ongoing copy coaching - get expert feedback whenever you need it
Consulting begins with a brief intake call to discuss your goals and needs. After our conversation, I’ll provide a tailored proposal for your review and signature before we get started.
