You're The Fractional Fundraiser
Did you even know Fractional Fundraising existed? What is it you ask?The word fractional implies that you're a portion of a staff person. So instead of hiring someone full-time, they hire a fraction of a person (or part-time). The different between this and a regular part-time person is that a Fractional Fundraiser is usually more experienced and has greater expertise than a part-time staff person.While Fractional Executives aren't new, the nonprofit sector is just starting to see how this can help smaller organizations access higher levels of expertise and hands-on help.As a fundraiser, the benefit to you is that you can build a stable consulting business with just a few clients, make more money, and have better balance and boundaries. Three things you can consider as you get started:1. There is HUGE demand for Fractional Fundraisers. We've been doing this for the past 5 years and have been fully booked as we continue to expand capacity. Small nonprofits crave this kind of solution as an alternative to hiring in-house because they have WAY less stress and work on their shoulders than trying to manage someone junior.2. Think long-term. Your best success and results for an organization with this model are when you can work with them for the long-term. That's when the consistent work starts to see significant growth.3. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. We've been there. Done that. I spent over 5 years building and scaling a Fractional Fundraiser business and now I teach others to do the same.
