Out of the Box Fund Development, led by Rich Swartwood, gives Christian camps, retreat centers, and other faith-based nonprofits a seasoned consultant and a steady coach in one long-term partner. I help you raise what your ministry needs to run well today and build for tomorrow, from annual giving and operating grants to capital campaigns for new buildings and major projects.

​

As your consultant, I shape the strategy and do the hands-on work: plans, appeals, proposals, campaign materials, and the systems that keep it all running.

 

As your coach, I walk alongside your director, staff, and board so they feel confident asking, thanking, and telling your story. Together we bring lapsed donors back, welcome new ones, and build lasting relationships with the people who love your ministry.

You get the experience of a full-time development director at a fraction of the cost, with support that grows as your fundraising grows.

​

Contracts start at six months, with year-long and ongoing partnerships available as your needs and goals take shape.
