juicy strategy for growing nonprofits
Where operations, communications, and grants come together
hi, i’m vivian
your fractional operations & communications partner
I provide embedded, director-level leadership to help purpose-driven organizations run smoothly, communicate clearly, and grow sustainably — without hiring full-time.
I’m a nonprofit operations and communications expert with years of experience across organizational systems, storytelling, and fundraising infrastructure. I work alongside nonprofit teams to bring structure to the work behind the scenes, strengthen donor and funder communications, and create the conditions needed for sustainable funding and long-term impact.
Strategic operations, communications, and funding support for nonprofits ready to grow sustainably.
With years of nonprofit experience, I provide embedded, director-level guidance across key operational, communications, and funding areas, helping organizations build clarity, structure, and sustainable momentum;
Funding & Grant Strategy
Clear funding plans, strong grant applications, and sustainable approaches to revenue — not just last-minute submissions. I help organizations align programs, budgets, and storytelling so funding efforts are strategic, not reactive.
Operations & Organizational Readiness
Behind-the-scenes systems, documentation, and workflows that funders expect and teams rely on. This includes policies, processes, timelines, and internal coordination that make growth manageable and credible.
Communications & Storytelling
Donor messaging, impact stories, and clear narratives that help audiences understand, trust, and support your work. I strengthen how your organization shows up across donor communications, reports, and digital channels.
Leadership Support & Direction
Strategic thought partnership to help nonprofit leaders prioritize, plan, and move forward with confidence. I act as a steady second brain, supporting decision-making, alignment, and follow-through.
I offer fractional, director-level support on a monthly retainer, giving nonprofits the leadership they need without hiring full-time.

what guides my work
Nonprofits trust me with their funding, messaging, and internal systems, and I don’t take that lightly. at the heart of my work are three core values:
integrity – I do what I say I’m going to do. I’m honest about timelines, capacity, and what’s realistic, and I show up consistently.
clarity – Most nonprofits aren’t underperforming — they’re overwhelmed. I simplify complexity and guide teams to focus on what matters most.
impact – Every strategy, system, and story i build supports real, meaningful change.

From nonprofit and purpose-driven clients I’ve supported across operations, communications, and growth.
