We help nonprofits like yours connect with supporters who are obsessed with your mission and want to give generously.

It’s time to give your fundraising process the upgrade you deserve. Together we’ll boost your impact and create lasting change.
Is Fundraising Giving You a Headache?
We get it, fundraising is tough, and it constantly feels like you’re trying to push a boulder up a hill. Without the right strategies and processes in place, it’s a direct path to feeling overwhelmed, underprepared, and burnt out.
WHAT ARE YOUR STRATEGIES FOR TACKLING:
-
Staff that lack the expertise and know-how to pull off successful fundraising?
-
Creative campaigns that your community loves?
-
Reluctant donors who are unwilling to part with their hard-earned cash?
-
Brand messaging that majorly misses the mark with your audience?
-
Outdated fundraising processes that make you want to pull your hair out?
If you threw your hands up and said, “I have no idea!”,
then it’s time to call in the fundraising experts (hint: it’s us!).
I'm Suhailah Waheed, a fractional fundraiser and founder of Giving Geeks, a small but mighty team of fundraisers, project managers, and communications specialists who help nonprofits turn bold ideas into fully-funded campaigns.
We believe fundraising should feel values-aligned, community-rooted, and strategically sound. Whether you need help crafting your next appeal, launching a recurring giving program, or mapping out your annual fundraising plan, we bring the support (and nerdy joy) to make it happen, without overwhelming your team.
MEET YOUR
FUNDRAISING PARTNER
What’s a fractional fundraiser?
It’s like having a part-time development director with full-time strategy chops. You get high-level fundraising support without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. We plug into your team, adapt to your needs, and keep things moving with clarity and care.
DON'T LET FUNDRAISING
CHALLENGES DERAIL
YOUR MISSION
When fundraising isn’t going quite as you planned, it can feel like you’ve painted yourself into a corner. The nonstop stress of chasing down funds, keeping donors engaged and interested, and the never-ending administrative tasks can quickly zap any zest you have for your mission.
Imagine having endless time to dedicate to your cause instead of fighting fundraising issues. Every missed opportunity and clunky process not only limits your growth but makes a negative impact on your ability to create real, lasting change.
Don’t let fundraising frustration block your organization’s progress. We’re here to shoulder the burden of fundraising so you can get back to making a positive impact!
