Red Clew Consulting
Empowering Nonprofit Fundraising
I support nonprofit fundraising through
Salesforce Consulting and Grant Writing.
I’ll help wrangle the donor data, oxford commas, and other details needed to support your big-picture vision and mission.
I’m passionate about working with small-to-mid size organizations that are creatively and effectively meeting needs, while using community-centric fundraising strategies.
Sound like you? Let’s Talk!
Services
Grant Writing
Grants can feel like a maze. And how do you tell your organization’s story in only 500 characters?
- Developing Boilerplate Language
- Building an Annual Grant Calendar
- Funder Prospecting & Research
- Proposal and Report Writing
- Grant Invoicing and Payment Requests
I’ll be your partner to work out the details, make a plan, and get it done together.
Salesforce Consulting
Problem-solving on Salesforce questions (big and small).
- Configuring or Supporting Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) as your Development Database for Donor Data
- Brainstorming Enhancements & Optimization Projects for your Organization
- Building Infrastructure & Processes to Collect, Store & Report on your Data
- Building Custom Reports & Dashboards
- Building Custom Objects & Customize Standard Objects
- Automating Processes with Flows
- Importing Data
Phone-a-friend support with those pesky “I swear it wasn’t working when I tried it!” issues.
Something Else?
I also provide broad Development Operations support, such as thought partnership on processes, or hands-on support with key tasks like documentation.
Maybe you need help with a different CRM database, like Bloomerang. Or maybe you need an extra set of hands to update your website, or lead a migration to Google Workspace, or something else entirely!
Let’s talk! I’m always looking for new ways to grow my skills and support the work you do every day.

Uh, What’s a Clew?
A clew means a ball of thread or yarn!
Its the origin of the word clue – something that guides you out of a difficult, complicated, or confusing situation!
In Greek mythology, Ariadne gives Theseus a red ball of thread – a clew – to help guide him through the Labyrinth.
Eventually the spelling changed from clew to clue!
