About this event
Is it time to bring in a fundraising consultant—but you’re not sure if you’re there yet?
It’s a question many nonprofit leaders wrestle with. Hiring a consultant can be a powerful move—but only if the timing, fit, and expectations are right.
This session is designed to help you figure that out.
We’ll unpack the real-world when, why, and how of working with fundraising consultants—so you can move forward with clarity instead of guesswork. Whether you’re facing capacity gaps, planning for growth, or looking to elevate your fundraising strategy, you’ll gain practical insight to guide your next step.
Join us for an honest, experience-driven conversation that will leave you better equipped to decide if, when, and how a consultant can support your organization’s success.
Speakers: Elizabeth Murphy, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Bloom Funding; Gerry Backs, President, Hearten Philanthropic Management
