Empowering Non-Profits: The Impact of Fractional Fundraising | Collaborative Cause

Non-profit organizations play a critical role in fostering stronger, more resilient communities. However, these organizations often face challenges in maximizing their impact due to limited resources and expertise. That’s where Collaborative Cause Consulting comes in. Tanya Wall, Founder and Principal Consultant of Collaborative Cause, began her fundraising career over 15 years ago at the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation in Ontario. Since then, she has developed extensive expertise in fundraising and has collaborated with numerous non-profit organizations throughout Canada before establishing her practice in Cape Breton.

While Collaborative Cause serves organizations across Canada, its primary focus is on supporting non-profits within Atlantic Canada. The firm distinguishes itself through its specialized fractional fundraising service model. Unlike traditional consulting, Tanya personally oversees the implementation of fundraising programs, alleviating pressure on non-profit organizations and enabling them to maintain their daily operations. Fractional fundraising encompasses both strategic planning and execution, with Tanya leveraging her expertise to develop customized solutions for each organization.

The fractional fundraising model offers two key advantages: cost-effectiveness and proven results. Hiring and training internal fundraising staff can be financially demanding, and new hires often require significant onboarding time. Traditional consulting, while valuable for strategy development, may not extend to implementation, potentially resulting in unrealized plans. Through Collaborative Cause’s comprehensive approach, projects remain in experienced hands throughout their lifecycle, from strategic planning to tactical execution—or as Tanya puts it, “from strategy to stuffing envelopes.”

This steadfast commitment to supporting non-profits has led Tanya to working with organizations across the country and led to the establishment of Collaborative Cause Consulting. Her mission is to eliminate the stress and overwhelm that often accompany fundraising efforts, helping organizations raise more money so they can focus on the work they love. Through her comprehensive approach, she develops and implements effective fundraising strategies tailored to each organization’s unique needs and community context.

The vital role of nonprofits in our communities cannot be overstated—they provide essential services that impact countless lives. Tanya has dedicated her career to strengthening these organizations, and by extension, supporting communities throughout Atlantic Canada and beyond.
