The Bestie Blueprint:
4 Steps to Predictable, Repeatable Revenue
The Bestie Blueprint is my proven, retention-first system for building strong supporter relationships and predictable revenue — year after year.
Step #1:
Audit & Align
Review donor data and messaging so we know where supporters are slipping and where the quick wins are hiding.
Step #2:
Build the Retention Engine
Turn donor and sponsor journeys live, with thank-you flows and light automations that run in the background.
Step #3:
Activate Growth Channels
Launch segmented campaigns, monthly giving invitations, and sponsorship outreach so your system starts fueling revenue.
Step #4:
Sustain & Scale
Keep the engine running with reporting, renewal touchpoints, and continuous optimization.

Build Loyalty, Grow Revenue, Reduce Burnout
Most nonprofits lose donors faster than they gain them. Leaders spend year-end racing through appeals, events, and board asks — with no system to keep supporters around. The result: staff burnout, shallow revenue, and constant scrambling.
Nonprofit Bestie exists to stop the cycle.
We help small and midsize nonprofits build relationship-led, retention-first fundraising systems that combine smart strategy, hands-on implementation, and simple automation. We don’t just hand over a plan. We install your fundraising engine and keep it running until it sticks.
For a recent client, we stood up an automated stewardship system that increased monthly giving by 117%, recaptured lapsed donors, and increased retention by 17%, resulting in double-digit revenue growth.
That’s the power of installing a donor engine.
