Nonprofit leaders:
Whether you're tasked with raising $5M or $50M, the stakes are high.
Your board expects results. The mission rides on your success. You need deeper expertise for priorities like:
✅ Designing a multimillion-dollar capital campaign
✅ Creating a new fundraising plan for maximum impact
✅ Implementing major gift fundraising
✅ Coaching Development staff toward greater success
✅ Conducting a feasibility study
✅ Stepping in when a high performer on your team leaves
That's why we started Sarah J Consulting (SJC): To share proven methods and approaches that help nonprofits like yours raise millions more.
SJC's engagements pave the way for leaders like you to have:
⭐ More charitable dollars in the door—and more loyal donors
⭐ A finely tuned Development department that works smarter and boosts results
⭐ A successful campaign that raises millions for a new building or signature initiative
⭐ Seamless fundraising collaboration among your CEO, board, Development committee, and frontline fundraisers
⭐ Interim expertise when you lose a key manager
Depending on your needs, we work as capital campaign consultants, nonprofit fundraising consultants, and major gifts consultants for organizations that raise $1 million or more in philanthropy each year. We’re also fundraising coaches and interim Development leaders.

"We selected SJC to partner with the Lab on major gift work because of their expertise in higher education fundraising combined with Sarah's approachable personality. Sarah helped to articulate our funding needs and donor messaging, created 6-7 figure funding opportunities, and crafted a two-year fundraising plan with concrete goals and activities. We talked extensively about building relationships with Bass Lab's top individual prospects, breaking down strategies into specific moves customized for each person. Thanks to SJC, we've already begun executing on these new major gift strategies. We consider SJC a key partner of the Bass Lab and we absolutely recommend working with them.“
