Every engagement starts with a free conversation. No proposal until Steven understands your situation. If One to One isn't the right fit, he'll tell you that too.

Start the conversation
Tell us a little about your organization and what you need help with. We'll respond within one business day.
Steven will be in touch within one business day. In the meantime, feel free to call 647 999 2930 if it's urgent.
Yes, completely free. The first conversation is how Steven figures out whether One to One is actually the right fit for your situation, and how you figure out the same thing about him. There's no proposal until that conversation happens, and no obligation after it.
Much faster than hiring a staff fundraiser. Once scope and fees are agreed, work can begin within days. There's no onboarding period, no learning curve, and no ramp-up time. Steven has run enough campaigns to understand a new organization's context quickly.
That said, the earlier you reach out before you need help urgently, the better. Capital campaigns require months of cultivation groundwork before the first major ask. Starting that process early matters.
Yes. Steven works with nonprofits and charities across Canada. For organizations outside Ontario, Steven is happy to discuss how the logistics work in the consultation.
Fees are project-based: a defined scope, a defined timeline, a clear fee agreed in writing before work begins. There are no open-ended retainers and no percentage-of-funds-raised arrangements. The AFP Code of Ethical Standards prohibits fundraising fees tied to gift amounts, and Steven operates by that standard.
Steven represents your organization, not his firm. In donor conversations, he is introduced as a member of your fundraising team. The level of transparency is up to your organization, some boards prefer full disclosure, others don't. Steven follows your lead and your organization's values on this.
