You’re not alone

Community Grantwriters meets you where you are, and together we can build an effective fundraising plan that’s right for your small-staffed nonprofit. Coaching involves regular 1-on-1 meetings with a fundraising expert to build a culture of philanthropy in your board, grow major donors, develop your fundraising strategy, or build and optimize your donor database.

Let’s get started with coaching!

Not sure if this is right for you? We offer a free 30-minute brainstorm session to pick some goals and identify areas of growth. We can’t wait to hear about your amazing work!

Ready to jump in? Start your journey today by purchasing your first month of growth and strategy coaching or donor database coaching. At your first meeting, we’ll confirm your preferred schedule (30 minutes weekly or 1 hour biweekly): 100% refund if you’re not happy with your first meeting.


Meet Your Mentors

Melanie Hamburger
Growth & Strategy Coach

Melanie’s decades of experience—from a major gift officer and development director, to a 1-person fundraising team—have taught her what works. She creates ease for your board and staff to fundraise for your nonprofit’s unique goals.

Use Melanie as your personal mentor, thought partner, and sounding board to build revenue.

Sian Romoli
Donor Database Coach

Sian’s superpowers in data and research make her an ideal nonprofit database coach. She will help you create, organize, and optimize gift entry and reports — or migrate to an entirely new database.

Together you’ll build a system that works for you, makes data entry easy, tracks giving, customizes donor outreach, and helps meet fiscal year goals.

Coaching not in your budget? Let’s talk and we’ll come up with a plan that works for you.


Why work with a fundraising consultant for small nonprofits?

As a small-staffed nonprofit, you know what it’s like trying to raise money in a fiercely competitive landscape with limited resources, time, and connections. Serving on a board and being asked to fundraise when the idea terrifies you? Have a new fundraising role and want to knock it out of the park? Work with Melanie or Sian to focus your scarce time on what works best.

In our first meeting, we’ll evaluate your current fundraising goals and challenges. Then we’ll work together to develop custom strategies for long-term growth. We’re here for you.
