The Problem of Fundraising

You need to raise more money.

You can’t grow impact without raising more money. You’re just not sure where to focus or what needs to happen to get better results.

You’re carrying too much alone.

Fundraising needs your attention, but so does everything else! And you don’t need another person to manage. You need experienced leadership to move fundraising forward.

Carol Smith can help with your fundraising.

Let Me Take The Weight Off Your Shoulders

I come alongside nonprofit leaders to share the load and strengthen fundraising. I bring both strategic perspective and hands-on leadership—helping build the strategy, systems and team capacity to raise more money and grow your impact.
