About Us
Built by Practitioners, For Practitioners
Generosity Collaborative partners with enterprise nonprofits, healthcare systems, and educational institutions to transform their fundraising operations. What sets us apart is simple: we’ve lived your challenges.
Our team has built and led advancement services, IT, and operations teams at major institutions. We’ve been the executive sponsors on multi-million dollar implementations. We’ve rebuilt broken processes and rescued failing projects. We’ve managed the daily complexities of gift processing, prospect development, and grateful patient programs at scale.
This isn’t theoretical knowledge—it’s hard-won experience from the trenches. We’ve sat in your chair, faced your board, defended your budget, and celebrated your successes. We know what works because we’ve done it. We know what fails because we’ve fixed it. And that combination of strategic leadership and hands-on expertise means we understand both the big picture and the technical details that make or break success.
Our Philosophy
We believe great fundraising operations blend art and science. The art is understanding your organization’s unique culture, your team’s capabilities, and your donors’ needs. The science is building systems, processes, and technology that scale efficiently and deliver reliable results.
We’re vendor-neutral, objective, and committed to finding the right solutions for your specific needs—whether that means optimizing what you have, implementing something new, or building custom solutions where the market falls short. We don’t push products or one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, we take the time to understand your goals, constraints, and environment before recommending a path forward.
Because we’re focused on moving clients from theory to reality, we emphasize results, optimization, and outcomes that help you raise more money and build better relationships. We measure success by your success: campaigns that exceed goals, operations that run smoothly, teams that work confidently, and donors who feel valued.
How We Work
Every engagement begins with listening. We want to understand not just what you need, but why you need it and what success looks like for your organization. We ask hard questions, challenge assumptions when necessary, and bring fresh perspectives informed by our work across healthcare, higher education, and nonprofit sectors.
Once we understand your context, we leverage proven methodologies to evaluate your data, technology, processes, people, and environment holistically. This comprehensive approach helps us identify opportunities others miss and avoid solutions that fix one problem while creating three others.
We don’t just make recommendations and disappear. We help you execute, whether that means leading implementations, filling interim roles, coaching your team through change, or providing ongoing fractional support. We stay engaged until you’re confident and successful.
Our Commitment
We’re committed to this sector and to the organizations we serve. That means:
- Honesty over salesmanship – We’ll tell you when your current systems are fine, when you need to change course, and when your budget or timeline isn’t realistic
- Expertise over credentials – We bring real experience solving real problems, not just certifications and buzzwords
- Partnership over transactions – We’re invested in your long-term success, not just our next invoice
- Innovation where it matters – We embrace new technologies like AI when they genuinely improve outcomes, not just because they’re trendy
- People first – Technology and processes serve people, not the other way around
Whether you’re preparing for a major campaign, modernizing legacy systems, building a new team, or simply trying to make your daily operations more efficient, we’re here to help you succeed.
