Hi. I’m Ruth Cumberbatch and I’m on a mission to make fundraising easier.


I have been working in the Toronto not-for-profit sector for 20 years, collaborating with courageous and generous leaders at respected nonprofits, including FoodShare Toronto, Arts Etobicoke and the Royal Conservatory of Music.  It feels great to support the positive changes that these organizations and other nonprofits inspire in their communities. 

With years of experience leading fundraising activities at small to medium-sized organizations, I have designed work strategies that contribute to strong, calm spaces where fundraising teams do their best work.

l help make fundraising easy, whether it’s applying for a six-figure grant from a foundation, developing materials for direct response or executing a stewardship strategy for major gift donors. 

 

I’ll help you with:

  • Fundraising Plans

  • Donor Relationships

  • Prospect Research

  • Corporate and Foundation Giving

  • Major Gifts

  • Planned Giving

  • Donor Communications

  • Case for Support

  • Stewardship Activities
