Big Goals.
Small Team?
You don't have to do it alone. We help nonprofit leaders close the gap between vision and execution with fractional fundraising support that's strategic, creative, and effective.
Facing Big Challenges With Limited Capacity?
Leading a nonprofit today means living in the tension between growing needs and shrinking resources. Your mission is bold. Your team is passionate. But the pressure is real:
You have to raise more — often with the same (or fewer) staff.
Your board wants results, but you're short on time, tools, and clarity.
You can't afford to hire a full-time strategist, but you know your team needs help.
You've got great ideas, but no one with the bandwidth to execute them.
That's where I come in. I help nonprofit leaders like you fill in the gaps and add capacity without the overhead of a full-time hire. Whether you need help launching a campaign, fixing your donor communications, or simply need a second brain and an extra set of hands — I step in as an experienced, trustworthy extension of your team.
You're likely a great fit if:
  • You're leading a small or mid-sized shop with big goals and not enough people.
  • You need someone who can strategize and execute — not just one or the other.
  • You want a thought partner who brings years of experience but doesn't need handholding.
  • You're looking for someone to coach and train your team, not just do the work.
Think. Do. That's the kind of help you need. That's what I deliver.
Hi, I'm Mary Grace.
I'm here to help.
With 20+ years of experience in communications, fundraising strategy, donor engagement, and nonprofit storytelling, I specialize in helping mission-driven teams design and execute campaigns that raise money and build momentum.
My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on implementation. I've helped organizations of all sizes—from grassroots startups to established institutions—clarify their message, engage donors more effectively, and exceed their fundraising goals.

For Nonprofit Teams Who:
Have ambitious fundraising goals
But not enough hands on deck to bring those visions to life. You're stretched thin trying to maintain current programs while growing impact.
Need a clear path forward
And someone reliable to run with it. You know what needs to happen (or maybe you don't—we'll help with that too!) but lack the bandwidth to execute consistently and effectively.
Want to improve materials and processes
Your campaigns, donor communications, and internal systems need refinement to reach their full potential and deliver stronger results.
I help fill the gaps with practical, creative fundraising solutions and execution support that's tailored to your team, goals, and donors. No cookie-cutter approaches—just customized strategies that work for your unique situation.

"Mary Grace helped drive our Annual Report process for many years. She worked with us to develop the theme, wrote the content, and worked closely with the graphic designer, photographer, and our staff to produce compelling reports, and other messaging. Her many talents, thoughtful approach, and ability to develop and nurture healthy relationships made her a perfect fit for our organization."
— Chip Hansen, former President of Charlevoix County Community Foundation
"Working with Mary Grace was a wonderful experience. She was able to provide an annual giving "crash course" for our new hire - initially producing pieces directly, then over time, shifting into the role of trainer and guide. It was just what we needed at a critical transition time in our annual giving program. As a result, we saw the number of donors and dollars raised increase significantly in less than a year. Talk about success!"
— Chelsea Platte, Vice President of Advancement and NCMC Foundation Executive Director
"Mary Grace has been such a gift to us in development. She’s knowledgeable, resourceful, and a total go-getter; when something needs to get done, she takes initiative and runs with it. When I get stuck, she’s the one who can step in and move things forward without needing my help. Beyond all that, she brings creativity, consistency, and encouragement that make our whole team better."
— Jamie Boiles, Executive Director, Belay Global
The organizations Mary Grace has worked with faced the same challenges you're experiencing—limited capacity, ambitious goals, and the need for both strategic guidance and hands-on support.
