Should Your Nonprofit Consider a Fractional CMO? 5 Questions to Unlock Clarity

When budgets shrink, marketing often feels like the easiest place to cut. But for nonprofits, this choice usually backfires. Marketing isn’t just an expense—it’s the engine that fuels donations, grants, and visibility. Without it, missions stall.

That’s why more organizations are turning to Fractional CMOs—seasoned leaders who provide proven strategy and clarity without the full-time salary.

Five Questions Every Leader Should Ask

  1. If we keep doing the same things we’ve been doing, will we actually hit our financial goals this year—or stay stuck at the same results?

  2. How much longer can we afford marketing that looks busy but doesn’t drive measurable growth?

  3. What opportunities are we missing because we lack a clear, story-driven strategy?

  4. How much revenue are we leaving on the table because we’re not using AI or automation effectively?

  5. What would it be worth to have one person acting as a strategist, copywriter, storyteller, coach, and AI-powered innovator—rolled into one fractional role?
