If you can’t find your question below feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to help.
How do I know which service is right for us?
If your organization needs ongoing fundraising leadership and implementation across multiple priorities, Full Fractional Fundraising is likely the best fit.
If you need support with a more specific area, such as grant writing, a campaign, a special project, or board fundraising support, we can talk through a more focused scope.
Is Full Fractional Fundraiser your main service?
Yes. Full Fractional Fundraiser is our most comprehensive service and is designed for organizations that need experienced fundraising leadership, planning, and hands-on implementation over time.
It is a 12-month partnership that helps your organization build structure, identify priorities, and move fundraising work forward consistently.
Can we hire you for grant writing only?
Yes. Grant Writing & Prospecting can be provided as a standalone service or included as part of a Full Fractional Fundraiser partnership.
We help identify aligned funding opportunities, maintain a clear grant pipeline, and prepare strong applications that support your organization’s goals.
Do you take on special projects?
Yes. We support fundraising projects that need extra capacity, structure, or execution.
Examples may include direct mail campaigns, holiday appeals, e-appeals, peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, annual or impact reports, donor communications, and related fundraising initiatives.
Do you support fundraising events?
We do not specialize in large-scale event management or on-site event execution.
However, we are happy to discuss the fundraising strategy, planning, sponsorship, communications, or campaign support connected to an event, especially for Alberta-based initiatives.
How is Full Fractional Fundraiser different from hiring in-house?
Many small and mid-sized nonprofits do not have the budget to hire an experienced fundraising professional. Instead, they often hire someone newer to the sector who needs significant training, direction, and oversight.
With Demarca Consulting, you gain access to an experienced fundraising team with more than 30 years of combined expertise. We bring strategy, implementation, and accountability without the overhead of building an internal department.
Most importantly, we do not just create plans. We execute them.
How much does Full Fractional Fundraising cost?
Our Full Fractional Fundraiser service is $4,500 per month plus GST.
There are no hidden fees, surprise invoices, or additional staffing costs. Engagements begin with a 12-month commitment so there is enough time to build momentum and support sustainable fundraising growth.
Looking for something different? We know one size does not fit all. If the full fractional package is not quite the right fit, let’s talk about what your organization needs.
What work is included in Full Fractional Fundraising?
Every organization is different, and your fundraising plan should be too.
Full Fractional Fundraising can include fundraising planning, donor stewardship, grant writing, sponsorship, campaigns, communications, CRM support, board fundraising support, and related implementation work.
The exact mix depends on your goals, capacity, and priorities. We begin with strategic planning, identify the work that will have the greatest impact, and then help carry it forward.
Do you guarantee results?
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does.
Fundraising is built on relationships, consistency, and long-term investment. No ethical fundraiser can guarantee a specific outcome.
What we can guarantee is experienced guidance, a clear plan, and consistent execution.
How does Fractional Fundraising work?
We focus on outcomes, not timesheets.
Our clients are not hiring us to fill hours. They are hiring us to move fundraising forward. Because our team is experienced, we work efficiently and focus on delivering meaningful progress.
As a general guideline, we dedicate approximately 1.5 to 2 days per week to each Full Fractional Fundraiser client, while remaining available throughout the week for communication, collaboration, and ongoing support.
