Our Services
Wordhorse is flexible and responsive to your needs. Reach out to explore how we can assist with planning, research, training, traditional consulting, fractional development support, or a tailored combination of services.
Let’s work together.
The nonprofit landscape is rewriting itself in real time. Donor behavior is shifting, expectations are evolving, and the pace of change can feel relentless. All the while, leaders and development teams are overworked and under-resourced. We're here to help.
At Wordhorse, I empower arts and nonprofit leaders to break free from “survival mode” and create focused, feasible pathways to sustainable fundraising. People give to people with a clear, compelling vision. My goal is simple. I want to help you tell your story, articulate it with clarity, and craft a strategy that fuels fundraising success.
I specialize in the unique challenges of small- to mid-sized nonprofits. My approach isn't about generic advice or consultant speak or one-size-fits-all solutions. As the name implies, I roll up my sleeves and get to work as a partner, resource, and advocate.
