Your annual fund,
finally on track
Fundraising and development consulting for small nonprofits in Kansas City and beyond. Development director expertise, available by the project — without the full-time cost.
Does this Sound familiar?
Your executive director is writing appeal letters at 9pm. Grant deadlines sneak up. Donors get thanked late — or not at all. The database is a mystery nobody has time to solve. You know your organization should be raising more from individuals, but there's no one to own it.
You don't need another gala. You need an annual fund.
A development director in your corner
The Annual Fund Co. gives small nonprofits the fundraising leadership they can't yet afford to hire. Whether it's one appeal letter or a full year of development strategy, you get senior-level work, sector-fluent judgment, and deliverables your team can actually execute.
-
Appeal letters, grant research, and stewardship audits starting at $250. Quick wins, fast turnaround.

Monthly retainers from 8 to 25 hours — ongoing development support, priority scheduling, and a planning call every month.
Ten years in your shoes
I've sat where you sit. Over a decade in nonprofit development across Kansas and Missouri — running annual funds, writing grants, managing direct mail campaigns, and producing fundraising events for education and public health organizations. I know what works for small shops because small shops are where I've done the work.
