Professional Fundraising Consultant For Nonprofit Organizations
Fundraising Consulting Services for Nonprofit Organizations
Team Kat & Mouse is a Fundraising Consulting Firm for Nonprofits
We started Team Kat & Mouse during the dark days of COVID-19.
We saw many nonprofits struggling to find new and creative ways to keep their fundraising relevant to their donors, sensitive to the changing needs of their broader community, and nimble in response to changing situations
We also recognized the need for training in general, as we witnessed what would come to be known as the "Great Resignation". Many who were not learning how to be successful fundraisers either left their organizations or left the sector completely.
So, two old friends who were also former colleagues joined forces to build a one-of-a-kind company, Team Kat & Mouse.
Our goal was to be able to support organizations by assembling a group of professionals, each with a specialty in a type of fund development.

We aim to bring this expertise to nonprofits across the country so that their staff can be trained and developed into teams with varied expertise, ready to tackle any economic or other conditions that may come their way.
These teams can work together, exceed goals, become future leaders, and help their managers go home on time (at least once in a while).
Then, we collaborate on the tactics and tools you need to sustain success​
What We Believe:
​
Tangible fundraising results are created by hiring great people, training them how to do their job, and coaching them continually. We are nonprofit fundraising consultants committed to all three.
