Fractional Chief Advancement Officer (CAO) Services for Nonprofits

What is a Fractional CAO?

A Fractional Chief Advancement Officer (also known as a Virtual CAO, Interim CAO, or Outsourced CAO) is a revenue architect and problem solver. 


As a Fractional CAO, I partner with nonprofits on a short-term or part-time basis to fix budget problems, improve revenue generation, and strengthen financial health—without the long-term cost or commitment of a full-time hire.


My services blend analysis and evidence-based solutions with implementation and team coaching on today’s best practices. This broad, integrated approach ensures that fundraising looks decisively in two directions, addressing your nonprofit’s  business needs while advancing your mission.
