You hired a fundraiser. They know fundraising. But they've never raised money for programs overseas and the gaps are showing. The messaging isn't landing. The trust barriers aren't being addressed. The donor psychology of giving to international causes is different from anything they've navigated before.
 Or maybe you're the one doing all the fundraising yourself. Writing donor emails at 10pm. Fitting campaigns into the margins of a schedule already stretched across program management, HR, and everything else.
 Either way: the problem isn't that you aren't working hard. It's that the support you need — experienced, strategic, and built for international programs specifically — hasn't existed. Until now.

Fractional Fundraising

Strategy, plan, and full implementation — from a team that actually understands international fundraising.

It's simple - let me run your fundraising program. That's right - eliminate the stress and overwhelm of trying to "do it all" and let me manage the day-to-day of your fundraising needs.

Let me take the weight of fundraising off your shoulders

the solution you've been waiting for

What strategy, plan, and implementation actually looks like FBB doesn't hand over a plan and disappear. We run your fundraising program — campaigns, donor communications, CRM management, monthly giving, grant pipeline, stewardship systems. All of it. And we do it with specific expertise in what it takes to raise money in the US for programs overseas. That is not a minor distinction. The trust barriers are different. The messaging is different. The donor psychology is entirely different. And a fractional fundraiser without international experience will keep running into those walls. FBB has built its entire practice around this specific discipline. That's what makes this different.

Can you share a specific result or win you’ve achieved with our support? 

One of our biggest wins has been growing our donor database from fewer than 200 constituents to over 4,000. Alongside that, our engagement has steadily increased month over month. Just as importantly, we FINALLY have a defined revenue plan with clear goals and KPIs, which has been a game changer for how we measure success and plan for growth.

What has it been like having a fractional fundraising partner as part of your team? 

Honestly, it’s been life-changing. Having access to our fundraiser's level of expertise, paired with a collaborative and honest working relationship, has made all the difference. We can openly evaluate what’s working and what isn’t. We have a trusted partner who is not only reliable, but deeply invested in our success and consistently delivers results.

What would you say to another organisation considering fractional fundraising support? 

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Partnering with Fundraising Beyond Borders has been the perfect solution. They provide the strategic leadership we needed without taking on a full-time hire. It’s been one of the most impactful decisions we’ve made for our organization’s growth!

why fbb built this

I've spent a decade inside international nonprofits across East and Southern Africa.

I've seen what happens when organizations try to apply domestic fundraising frameworks to an international reality — the campaigns that don't convert, the donors who give once and disappear, the trust signals that were never built because nobody told them they mattered.
 I also know what it costs to carry fundraising alone.
The board pressure.
The late nights.
The quiet anxiety that something is missing but you can't quite name what. Fractional fundraising at FBB was built for this exact situation. Not a general consultancy that pivots to international work. A team built from the ground up for US nonprofits fundraising for international programs because that is its own discipline and it deserves its own expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from hiring in-house?

How is this different from hiring in-house?

Usually small organizations have limited budgets for staffing, which means they end up hiring someone junior without much fundraising strategy or expeirence. That person usually ends up spending a lot of time and energy on things that are not moving things forward. Instead, with that budget you can hire a Fractional Fundraiser who brings over 10 years of fundraising experience to the table with a passion for implementation and getting it done. Our clients love this solution to help them grow strategically.

An added benefit is that a Fractional Fundraisers require less supervision meaning less stress for the ED! Bonus!

How much does it cost?

How much does it cost?

Hiring a Fractional Fundraiser is about $5,000 depending on the support needed. You hire the Fractional Fundraiser directly and there are no hidden costs. Contracts start at 12 months.

What work is included?

What work is included?

Each organization is unique and your fundraising strategy should be unique to you. Our Fractional Fundraisers are fundraising generalists and can do it all - from individual giving and major gifts, to grant writing or sponsorships. The only thing we don't do are large events.

We start each engagement with a Strategic Planning process to develop a clear fundraising plan with goals and activities to move your fundraising forward. Then, we do the work! 

Implementation means writing appeals, managing your data, working with your program team to write and submit grants, building relationships, managing sponsorships, doing social media, etc. We help you figure out which activities are a priority and then we do them.

Do you guarantee results?

Do you guarantee results?

If a fundraiser or fundraising consultant offers guaranteed results, RUN. That is probably a sign they are doing something unethical. 

Fundraising success takes time and consistency. Your results depend on where you are starting and what your fundraising priorities are.

Our clients so far have seen an average of a 2.3X ROI in the first 12 months of working with us and an average of 6X in the second year.
