What We Offer
The Perfect Solution for Your Charitable Organization
Our fractional services provide flexible, experienced leadership tailored to your specific fundraising needs.
We don't just raise funds—we build sustainable systems that continue working long after our engagement ends. Your team gains skills, confidence, and proven strategies.
Building a relationship-centered approach to donor relationships are at the heart of successful fundraising. We'll help you create meaningful connections that inspire giving and foster long-term support.
We love working with teams to enhance skills, provide mentorship, and create collaborative environments where fundraising thrives.
What’s Holding You Back?
Are you currently experiencing any of these common challenges?
Small teams are stretched thin without the time or expertise to drive fundraising needs. How many hats can one person wear?
High turnover in fundraising positions. A typical cycle is every 18-24 months due to unrealistic expectations and lack of program infrastructure.
Failure to grow revenue or meet fundraising goals. Without guidance, programs can be built on hope instead of sound strategy.
Limited access to senior fundraising expertise, especially for small remote organizations.
Service demands that grow faster than available resources.
LV Philanthropy has worked within the charitable sector for over two decades—strengthening national brands, empowering grassroots organizations, and navigating the real-world challenges that hold mission-driven impact back. Now, in partnership with sector experts, we’re here to help you move past the roadblocks and toward your goals—with clarity, strategy, and confidence.

Strategic Fundraising Leadership
With over 25 years in the charitable sector, Leila Verheyen has seen it all: big goals, small teams, tight timelines, and even tighter budgets. Through LV Philanthropy, she helps small and mid-sized charities cut through the chaos and get serious about what actually works—growing revenue, building real donor relationships, and creating the kind of systems that don’t collapse when one person takes a vacation.
Leila’s experience spans everything from major gifts and campaigns to grant strategy and team leadership. She’s been at the table for big decisions, led high-performing teams, and knows how to turn a great idea into actual results. She’s also Ivey-trained and isn’t afraid to ask the tough (but helpful) questions.
With LV Philanthropy, you’re getting a roll-up-your-sleeves partner who brings clarity, additional skilled experts (as needed), momentum, and the capacity to move your mission forward.
What Is Fractional Fundraising (and Why It’s Brilliant)?
Fractional fundraising gives you a senior fundraising pro—on your team, in your corner, but without the full-time cost or commitment. It’s perfect for organizations that need leadership, strategy, and hands-on help… but not another permanent hire (yet).
Whether it’s a few hours a month or a couple of days a week, this approach flexes with your needs—so you can stay focused on mission while someone else helps make the money happen.
