For Nonprofits and Foundations
Giving That Shows Up
All Year,
Not Just December.
Helping mission-driven organizations build a donor journey that runs year-round, turning one-time gifts into recurring support, without adding another job to someone's plate.
No pitch. No pressure. A conversation about your organization and the work you are trying to move.
What Changes
Three Outcomes That
Move the Mission
Structural fixes that outlast the campaign.
Giving Spread Across the Year
Your revenue stops living or dying in a single month. Donors have a reason to show up in March and July, not only in the last week of December.
A Recurring Base You Can Count On
You can see how a first-time giver becomes a repeat giver, which step loses them, and what to change. No more guessing which appeal did the work.
Capacity Back for the Mission
When the journey is built and the follow-up runs itself, donor engagement stops competing with the four other jobs on your plate.
What Clients Say
Results That Speak
for Themselves
"There are a handful of people we come across in our careers who just outshine everyone else in their field. Nicole Mace is one of those people. I did not realize how much was slipping through until she asked the right questions. She helped me close at a level I did not think was possible."A.M. · HR Executive
"I used to second-guess my pricing every single time. Nicole helped me build a structure I could actually stand behind. Now I present my offer with confidence and the right clients say yes."C.S. · Employment Consultant
"She takes the time to understand where you are, then asks exactly the right questions to cut through the noise. I finally felt like someone understood the whole picture. I have never worked with anyone who moves this fast and still gets it right."L.R. · Small Business Owner
"We came in with an idea and Nicole turned it into a clear plan, and now into a working system. We could not have created this engagement strategy without you."E.F. · Social Impact Director
Is This You?
You Own Donor Engagement
and Four Other Jobs
You have read the reports. You have sat through the webinars. You may have even tried something new once. But giving still lands in December, first-time donors still disappear, and the person holding it all together is still you.
The Year-End Push
Poured everything into one campaign. It worked once, and it costs more to repeat every year.
✗ Didn't hold
The Borrowed Playbook
Copied what a larger organization did. Their donors were not your donors.
✗ Didn't hold
Guessing At Behavior
Made the call on instinct because the data never showed why donors gave once and never again.
✗ Didn't hold
The Real Fear
"If we spend limited funds on something new and it does not work, that money is gone. There is no second shot this year."
That fear is valid, and it is exactly why we start with diagnosis and with what has already worked for organizations like yours. Nothing here asks you to experiment on your donors. We measure the experience they are already having. Donor trust is the first thing we protect, not the thing we spend.
What you are looking for is not another best-practice list. You want:
That's where I come in.
The Process
Simple Steps.
Real Results.
A clear path from a season that depends on one big push to giving you can plan around.
Book a Discovery Call
We start with your organization, your mission, and who gives to it today. You will leave with more clarity than you came in with, regardless of what comes next.
Get a Personalized Diagnosis
Using the LEAP framework, I map where your donor journey breaks and what has already worked for organizations solving the same problem. Specific, prioritized, and sourced.
Execute With a Clear Roadmap
You hold the mission. I provide the roadmap and build alongside your team, so what we put in place keeps running after the engagement ends. You own it, not rent it.

Growth Strategy Consultant
About Nicole
Seen Clearly.
Supported Fully.
Mission-driven leaders bring Nicole in when momentum has stalled and the path forward needs clarity. She helps teams see what proximity to the problem makes invisible, then builds the structure that removes it for good.
Nicole holds a Master's Degree in Instructional Technology and is a current Doctoral Candidate, a foundation that trained her to identify exactly how people move through a journey and where they quietly fall away. Rather than simply swapping tools, she studies how people and process must evolve together for results to compound. She has spent over 12 years designing online systems and operations, and six years architecting engagement and development systems for growing teams.
A 3-person team 5x'd their monthly revenue after developing a simple revenue flow strategy, removing the bottleneck and leveraging the assets they already had on file.
Another used my strategic framework to 10x their signature event sales without adding headcount or increasing the adspend.
The pattern is always the same: the problem is never technical. It's structural.
The LEAP Framework
When Everything Feels Urgent,
Start With What Matters
Limit the Focus
We name the one number creating the most pressure, whether that is recurring donors, retention after a first gift, or giving outside Q4. One focus aligns a team that is already stretched.
Establish the Plan
We turn that focus into a plan built for your organization and your capacity. Clear enough to act on this quarter, specific enough to show movement.
Assemble the Assets
We build on what you already have and already know. Real examples from organizations solving the same problem, adapted to your donors, with the source attached to every recommendation.
Progress Monitoring That Tells You What Is Working
You know what to watch, what the numbers mean, and what to change when a signal shows up. When something underperforms you fix that step, not the whole machine.
