Every nonprofit needs a plan to get where they want to be.
Together we’ll create your customized annual giving plan that you can actually accomplish – with goals and milestones and check-ins along the way.
Plus, you’ll receive regular coaching sessions. We’ll serve as your accountability partner and sounding board to help you succeed.
You’ll become part of our monthly SURU Circle, where you’ll meet with Susan and other SURU nonprofit clients working on growing their fundraising capacity. Together, we’ll share tips and practical tools that you can use for your organization right away.
Are You
- an executive director juggling many roles?
- new to your role or organization?
- a solo development shop looking for advice?
- a board member who knows you need to raise more money but doesn’t know where to start?
- wanting to make a difference this year?
Sometimes you need an immediate sounding board, even if it’s after hours.
You’ll receive individual attention from Susan. Together we’ll work on whatever is on your mind.
Even the greats rely on a coach to push them to the next level. That’s why coaching sessions are included with our annual giving plan packages.

About
Susan Rutherford
I’m passionate about raising money, connecting donors to projects they care about, and
making an impact!
Even right out of college, I wanted to make a difference in the world. The small nonprofit organization where I worked helped homeless people find jobs. But we didn’t have a computer for our clients to write cover letters and resumes for their job searches. So, I jumped into action, made a plan, and raised the money we needed.
Hi!
I’m Susan Rutherford. SuRu.
Get it?
Let the Numbers Speak
I have been fundraising ever since! Over the last 30+ years, I have
helped nonprofits raise millions of dollars
as a volunteer, staff member, Board member and consultant.
