Hello! Greg here, or… NitaJean Fundraising — a fundraising professional with over 12 years of experience helping nonprofits build stronger revenue through grants, individual giving, and consistent, systemic donor stewardship. I’ve spent my career in the day-to-day work that actually moves fundraising forward: building donor relationships, creating simple systems teams can maintain, and translating mission impact into clear, fundable language.

NitaJean Fundraising is the consulting practice I built to bring that same practical support to organizations that need experienced fundraising capacity—without the cost of a full-time hire.

Why I do this

I’ve seen how often good organizations get stuck in the same cycle: the work is urgent, the team is stretched, and fundraising becomes a constant scramble. My goal is to bring structure, momentum, and confidence to your development efforts—so fundraising feels less like chaos and more like a repeatable process.

How I work

My style is straightforward: clear priorities, clean deliverables, and consistent follow-through.

You can expect:

• A plan that reflects your real capacity (not a fantasy calendar).

• Messaging that sounds like you—clear, human, and mission-forward.

• Systems that are simple enough to sustain, even with a lean team.

• A focus on ethical fundraising and relationship-based growth.

What I support

Depending on what your organization needs, my work typically includes:

• Grant strategy and writing (prospecting, LOIs, proposals, reporting).

• Major donor and individual giving support (pipeline, outreach strategy, stewardship).

• Recurring giving strategy (retention, upgrades, messaging).

• Planned giving readiness and donor engagement (insight into planned giving, prospecting, messaging frameworks).

• Board fundraising clarity (roles, scripts, accountability rhythms).

• Campaign planning (appeals, messaging frameworks, calendars).

Who I’m a fit for

I work best with mission-driven, midscale nonprofits that want fundraising support that’s both strategic and hands-on—especially organizations that:

• have a strong program but need a stronger funding engine.

• want to improve grants or major giving without reinventing everything.

• need a dependable partner to execute and keep things moving.

Why “NitaJean”

This practice is named after my Grandmother Nita and Aunt Jean—two people who represent what I value most: care, compassion, and doing work you love with integrity. That’s the standard I bring to every engagement.
