No hard sell. Just a smart conversation about what’s possible, and what to do next.

A smarter way to strengthen communications

 Hiring in-house can stretch your budget. Hiring a consultant can leave you with a plan that never gets implemented. Fractional communications gives you both: experienced strategy and hands-on execution, so your nonprofit can strengthen visibility, sharpen messaging, and build momentum without adding another full-time salary.

 

Fractional communications FAQs

 We know bringing in a fractional communications leader can raise questions. Here are answers to the ones we hear most often.

 Small nonprofits often hire junior staff who need a lot of oversight but do not bring senior-level strategy to the table. Fractional communications gives you experienced leadership and implementation without the cost, supervision, or risk of another full-time hire.

 Our current engagements typically range from $4,000 to $5,000 per month with a six-month minimum, giving you the consistency needed to build, implement, and strengthen a communications strategy over time.

 That depends on your goals, but support can include strategic communications planning, messaging, branding, email marketing, social media, media relations, donor and community engagement, and campaign support. We start with a plan and then move into implementation.

No ethical communications professional can guarantee results. Real progress depends on your starting point, existing visibility, relationships, priorities, and consistency. What we do promise is strategic guidance, practical implementation, and a long-term approach built for meaningful results.

 We focus on deliverables, priorities, and outcomes rather than tracking every hour. Our clients value having experienced support that is efficient, strategic, and designed to move the work forward.
