Fundraising
“I found Meredith to be an invaluable collaborator. So much of her ability in raising funds and developing funding strategy came down to her ability to listen well, and then translate our vision in a way each donor could understand.”
Conceptual Consulting partners with organizations to transform fundraising from a stress point into a strategic strength. We support nonprofits in designing development strategies that are values-aligned, scalable, and sustainable — whether you're building your first fundraising plan or refining a mature revenue model to meet growing needs.
We know that meaningful relationships and compelling storytelling are just as important as systems, metrics, and pipelines — and we help you build it all. Whether you're launching a corporate giving program, developing donor strategies, or building out your development team, we bring clarity, capacity, and coaching to the table.
Our offerings include:
Strategic Fundraising Planning: Multi-year development strategies rooted in your mission, built to grow with your team and community.

Team & Infrastructure Design: Helping you build the right development roles, workflows, and tools to support long-term sustainability.
Revenue Diversification & Pipeline Development: Identifying new funding streams, nurturing warm leads, and ensuring your pipeline reflects your values and ambitions.

Crisis Fundraising: Enabling you to fundraise when the need is greatest. From emergency fundraising during natural disasters and conflict, to fundraising amidst political upheaval, we’ve been through it all and we are ready to support your team.
We believe development is more than just dollars raised — it’s about building a resilient organization that invites others to join you in your mission-driven work.
