She's been called the Tasmanian Devil of fundraising.

In my latest episode of The Nonprofit Insider Podcast Summer Fundraising Series, I sit down with Jessica Cloud, CFRE, founder of Real Deal Fundraising, to talk about what it really takes to build a career as a fundraising consultant.

I asked Jessica how she made the leap into consulting, what nonprofit leaders are actually looking for when they hire a consultant, and whether posting on TikTok every day can really turn into new clients.

Plus, Jessica shares advice for nonprofit professionals thinking about becoming consultants themselves—and a #NonprofitHorrorStory that proves fundraising plans can go sideways.
