At Giardino we support organizations where major and principal gifts are central to the future — where a small number of relationships carry significant responsibility and opportunity.

Giardino partners with executive leaders and fundraising teams who steward high-capacity donor relationships, navigate complex decisions, and hold long-term credibility in trust.

Our work is designed for seasons when the stakes are high — moments of growth, transition, or sustained pressure — helping organizations move forward with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

For that reason, our work is intentionally focused on three core offerings. This allows us to go deep rather than broad, offering presence, discernment, and sustained partnership instead of surface-level support. We choose depth because trust, leadership, and generosity are not built quickly — and they deserve our full attention.

How we work

  • This offering sits at the heart of our work.

    This offering focuses on major and principal gifts — where generosity is personal, trust is essential, and a small number of relationships carry profound opportunity.

    • Major & Principal Donor Strategy and Execution
      Clarifying priorities, pathways, and partnership opportunities for high-capacity donors.

    • Donor Cultivation, Stewardship & Solicitation Support
      Thoughtful guidance for engaging major donors with confidence, care, and purpose.

    • Campaign & Case for Support Development
      Designing a campaign or building a case for support specifically for transformational and principal-level giving.

    Impact:
    Clearer strategy. Stronger relationships. More confident fundraising.
    Organizations grow revenue while strengthening trust, culture, and long-term donor partnership.

  • These services support and strengthen our core focus.

    We work with leadership and teams to provide:

    • Regular 60–90 minute mentoring sessions for individual leaders, or teams

    • Strategic counsel on leadership decisions that shape team culture, morale, and effectiveness

    • Support navigating complexity, transition, or relational strain within teams

    • I partner with leaders of remote and global teams to navigate the human complexity of working across time zones and cultures, strengthening trust and connection where distance might otherwise erode it.

    • Mentoring and support for newly formed fundraising teams or teams that require recalibration and renewal.

    • A trusted external sounding board for fundraising, leadership, and organisational challenges.

    • Confidential space to reflect, recalibrate, and lead with intention.
