“Fractional isn’t just consulting. It’s a smarter structure.”
What Does “Fractional” Mean?
A fractional team is a group of specialists who fill critical roles within your organization on a part-time, contract, or project basis — giving you the right people doing the right things at the right time.
Instead of hiring one full-time staffer and hoping they can juggle it all, you get access to a custom-fit team of experts who focus on exactly what your organization needs, when it needs it.
Think of it like this:
Instead of hiring one generalist, you hire a fraction of a grant writer, a slice of a donor engagement strategist, a piece of a CRM analyst — all working together as your outsourced Development Department.
Why Fractional Teams Are Needed Now More Than Ever
The old model is breaking down — and fast.
Here’s why fractional fundraising teams are rising:
- Burnout is rampant. Development staff are asked to do more with less, often with no backup.
- Turnover is expensive. Every time you lose someone, you lose momentum, donor relationships, and institutional knowledge.
- Unicorn hires don’t exist. Expecting one person to master grants, CRM, major gifts, social media, and event planning is a setup for failure.
- Budgets are tight. Hiring multiple full-time roles isn’t feasible — but hiring the right fractions of them is.
The Benefits of a Fractional Fundraising Team
Traditional vs. Fractional Development
Traditional vs. Fractional Development
Imagine paying one salary and getting five specialists instead of one overwhelmed generalist. That’s value.
Is This Right for Your Organization?
If your nonprofit is:
- Struggling to keep up with fundraising goals
- Burning out key team members
- Losing momentum every time someone leaves
- Wishing you had more hands on deck — but don’t have the budget.
Then, a fractional fundraising team might be your next best hire.
