Flexible Sales and Marketing Expertise That Scales With Your Company
A Full Team of Experts; A Fraction of the Cost
Instead of hiring one person with limited skills, get a team of specialists—CRM admins, fundraisers, marketers, and web pros—working together to achieve your goals within your budget.
Flexible Hours That Scale With Your Needs
Choose a part-time or full-time option and adjust as your organization grows, ensuring you always have the right level of support without overspending.
Consistent Quality, Managed for You
We handle staffing, training, and management so you get dependable, high-quality work every week without the headaches of hiring or turnover.
Mission-Driven Strategy and Execution
Our team understands nonprofit challenges and tailors every task—whether it’s donor outreach, CRM setup, or campaign planning—to advance your mission and amplify your impact.
Because you’re investing in results—not just bodies—you can spend more time advancing your growth and less time managing the marketing machine.

How We Work Together
1. Choose Your Fractional Option
Select the level of support that fits your budget and goals — ¼, ½, ¾, or full-time. Each tier gives you access to a team of specialists who handle strategy, execution, and reporting.
2. Build a Strategic Plan
Every engagement begins with a planning session to define your priorities, goals, and deliverables. We map out what can be accomplished within your time allocation and create a clear roadmap for results.
3. Stay in Sync and On Track
We manage all tasks and timelines in Asana for full transparency. You’ll meet weekly or biweekly with your dedicated project manager to review progress, align priorities, and adjust as needed.
4. Optimize and Report
We oversee your technology and recommend tools that enhance efficiency—HubSpot is our preferred platform, but we can work within your existing systems. Each month includes progress reports to evaluate impact and plan next steps.
Minimum Engagement: 3 Months. Our partnerships are designed for meaningful, measurable progress, and a three-month minimum ensures we can deliver real results.
Smarter Than Hiring Full-Time
How the Fractional Points Model Works
Hiring a skilled mid-career marketing or operations professional can cost your nonprofit around $60,000 - $120,000 per year (or more), plus additional expenses for benefits, training, and management oversight. Instead of paying for fixed hours or hiring a single person, you purchase monthly points that can be used across our team of specialists. Each point is valued at $65 and can be applied to different types of work—CRM setup, marketing execution, design, or leadership. Lower-complexity work uses fewer points per hour, and higher-level strategic work uses more, so your investment can flex based on what you need most each month.
Flexible Plan Options
Choose the monthly package that fits your goals. Each plan includes a flexible mix of points you can use across leadership, strategy, creative, and execution tasks. Your project lead helps allocate points each month to the right mix of leadership, creative, and technical work so you get the most out of your investment.
| Plan | Monthly Cost | Included Points | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Plan | $3,000 | 40 Points | Organizations that need one campaign per month and steady communication. |
| Growth Plan | $6,000 | 80 Points | Teams ready to build consistency across campaigns, automation, and data systems. |
| Momentum Plan | $9,000 | 120 Points | Organizations expanding their systems and running multiple campaigns monthly. |
| Full Service Plan | $12,000 | 160 Points | Established organizations seeking full-scale management across all marketing functions. |
