Plan it. Fund it. Do it.
SixOneFive Oracles helps nonprofits and social enterprises plan their next chapter, raise the money to fund it, and get it done. I also work 1:1 with founders, CEOs, and creatives who want a thought partner for the road ahead.
Strategy and fundraising for nonprofits and social enterprises at a turning point.
Strategic Planning Retreats
Facilitated retreats that bring your board and team together to set clear priorities and leave with next steps.
A good retreat does more than fill a day. It brings your board and staff into the same room, gets the hard topics on the table, and ends with real next steps. My retreats mix strategy with reflection and simple body-based practices, so people leave clear and connected, not drained.
Best for: Boards and leadership teams kicking off a plan, starting a new chapter, or needing to reconnect.
What you get
- Discovery before the retreat: your plans and data, leader interviews, and an all-staff survey
- A custom agenda, slides, and exercises
- Facilitation of a half-day, full-day, or multi-day retreat, in person or virtual
- A written summary with decisions, themes, and next steps
Strategic Planning
A guided 4- to 6-month process that turns your vision into a clear plan your team believes in and can put into action.
You know where you want to go. You need a clear path, a team on board, and a way to turn big goals into weekly work. I guide you from first questions to a finished plan, then help you put it into action.
Best for: Nonprofits and social enterprises ready to set direction for the next 1 to 5 years.
What you get
- A timeline built around your board meetings and busy seasons
- Listening sessions, staff surveys, and stakeholder input
- Working sessions to set your vision, priorities, and goals
- A strategic plan, plus a short version for donors and the public
- KPIs and an implementation plan for day-to-day work
Development Strategy and Fundraising Campaigns
A fundraising plan and hands-on support that drives revenue, builds donor relationships, and fits your team's capacity.
I've spent more than 20 years raising money for missions, from grants to major gifts to capital campaigns. I build the strategy with you, and I roll up my sleeves: writing proposals, researching prospects, building pipelines, and coaching your team.
Best for: Organizations with a big revenue goal, a new program to fund, a campaign on the horizon, or a development team that needs steadying.
What you get
- A review of your fundraising today, and the fastest wins
- A multi-channel fundraising plan
- Campaign planning: case for support, gift chart, prospects, and timeline
- Donor materials: decks, one-sheets, proposals, and impact reports
- Pipelines, CRM cleanup, and coaching for your team
Embedded Strategy Partner
Senior advising and coaching through change and implementation.
Sometimes you don't need a big project. You need someone senior who can think with you and get things done. I join your team part time as a strategist, interim chief of staff, or "air traffic control" for a big initiative.
Best for: Organizations in transition, launching something new, or running a big initiative without enough senior help.
What you get
- A steady weekly rhythm of check-ins and work sprints
- Help sorting urgent problems from important ones
- Project management across teams
- Hands-on work: plans, budgets, decks, and systems
- Support as new plans and changes take root
Every organizational project includes 1:1 support for your top leader.
For individuals
1:1 partnership for founders, CEOs, and creatives.
Idea Doula
Thought partnership and cheerleading that turn your idea into a clear plan with real next steps.
A doula doesn't have the baby for you. She helps you through it with care, skill, and calm. I do the same for ideas. Whether you're shaping a new program, launching a venture, or stuck on the next step, I listen deeply, ask the right questions, and help you turn a big idea into a clear plan.
Best for: Founders, CEOs, and creatives forming, launching, or growing something new.
What you get
- Structured brainstorming to get ideas out of your head
- Honest feedback and thoughtful questions
- A simple plan with clear next steps
- Grounding practices for the fears and doubts that slow you down
- A written recap after every session
"My time with her was short, but the outcomes were tangible and immediate."
Rent-A-Manager
Steady, year-round support from your guidance counselor, work therapist, and accountability buddy, all in one.
When you wear every hat, no one is checking in on you. I become the manager you wish you had. We set goals, sort your long to-do list, and meet on a regular rhythm so you keep moving. You set the pace. I help you keep it.
Best for: Founders and executive directors who lead alone, or leaders going through a big change.
What you get
- Regular 1:1 check-ins, weekly or every other week
- Goal setting and clear priorities
- Gentle, steady accountability
- A confidential sounding board for hard decisions
- Tools to lead from a calmer place
"Having your support helped me lean into a bigger version of myself."
Who I work best with
I do my best work with leaders who:
- Want honest feedback, even when it's hard to hear
- Keep regular check-ins and come ready to dig in
- Follow through, and tell me what's working and what isn't
- Care about their team and listen to them
- Want results, and want to stay whole along the way
