In today’s dynamic nonprofit landscape, organizations are constantly challenged to do more with less—less time, fewer staff, and often, fewer resources. That’s why the concept of fractional fundraising leadership is gaining traction, offering a powerful, cost-effective solution for mission-driven organizations ready to grow.
If your nonprofit is navigating staff turnover, launching a capital campaign, or simply in need of senior fundraising leadership without the full-time salary commitment, then hiring a fractional fundraiser like Troy Nuss Solutions could be precisely what you need.
What Is a Fractional Fundraiser?
A fractional fundraiser brings executive-level fundraising expertise to your organization on a part-time or project basis. Think of it as getting the power of a Chief Development Officer or Major Gifts Director—without having to pay for a full-time position. It’s ideal for organizations in transition, in growth mode, or needing targeted strategy and execution.
