Meet Your Consultant
Adelyn Nottingham
Nonprofit Fundraising Strategist
I founded Nottingham Strategies with a clear purpose: to help mission-driven organizations, especially small and growing nonprofits, build the strategies they need to thrive. Too many of the organizations doing the most meaningful work don't have access to the same level of strategic support as larger institutions. That's exactly what Nottingham Strategies was created to change.
Over nearly a decade working across small, mid-sized, and large nonprofits, I've closed six and seven-figure gifts, strengthened development programs, and helped organizations build fundraising strategies that actually last. That experience taught me that sustainable fundraising isn't about chasing donors. It's about building relationships.
Based in Upstate South Carolina and serving nonprofits nationally, I bring a collaborative, practical approach grounded in real relationships. I believe in helping organizations not only raise more funding, but do so in a way that is sustainable, authentic, and aligned with their mission.
