Helping nonprofits simplify fundraising operations, strengthen donor systems, and build sustainable growth—saving time, money, and energy.

You know the impact your nonprofit can have—but behind the scenes, donor operations can feel like a mess. You’re a new Director of Development, and the CRM data is so messy it’s unusable. Reports take hours, sometimes days, to pull. Your team is constantly waiting on gift processing, and real-time fundraising dashboards? They don’t exist.

Or maybe your team is short-staffed, and you need someone to step in while you search for a new database manager or development operations hire. The work can’t stop, but you don’t have the capacity to juggle it all.

I get it. I’ve sat in your seat—trying to make sense of donor data, juggling fundraising priorities, and wishing for smoother systems. When your operations aren’t working, fundraising suffers. That’s where Good Soup comes in.

How I Help

✅ Fundraising Operations & Donor Systems – Cleaning up your CRM, improving reporting, and streamlining workflows so your team spends less time on admin and more time fundraising.

✅ CRM & Data Strategy – Turning your donor database into a powerful tool for engagement, ensuring clean, actionable data that leads to smarter fundraising decisions.

✅ Fundraising Tech & AI for Nonprofits – Equipping teams with AI-powered tools and automation strategies to save time, cut costs, and improve donor engagement.

✅ Process Improvement & Systems Development – Reducing bottlenecks and eliminating wasteful processes, so your team operates more efficiently—without overcomplicating things.

I step in when:
🔹 Your fundraising numbers don’t match up, and no one trusts the data.
🔹 Pulling a report takes hours, not minutes.
🔹 Gifts sit in a backlog, delaying thank-yous and donor stewardship.
🔹 Your team is stuck in outdated, manual processes that slow everything down.
🔹 You have no clear way to track real-time fundraising progress.
🔹 You need temporary fractional database management or development operations support while hiring for a full-time role.
🔹 You know there’s a better way—but don’t have time to fix it yourself.

When your systems are clear, your data is clean, and your team has the right tools, fundraising becomes so much easier—and more cost-effective. Let’s build something sustainable together.
