Fred Darbonne | Forward Partner Solutions

I am a capacity builder, not a consultant or interim staff member. I embed temporarily within a nonprofit team to help them assess their development infrastructure, design and execute specific fundraising tasks, and implement sustainable systems that staff can continue using after I step away. These systems include practical tools like • grant management annual • appeal cycle implementation • stewardship workflows • Donor tracking systems • Moves management My work shares some traits with the fractional executive model, offering short-term leadership capacity, but I work from inside the team, not at arm’s length. I do not patch leaks; I help build the plumbing. Whether funded by operating budgets or capacity-building grants, my support strengthens internal systems and leaves behind lasting tools that increase confidence and readiness. I’d love to explore possibilities with you!
