Fractional talent · Nonprofit
Nonprofit staff routinely absorb administrative, communications, and fundraising coordination work that has nothing to do with their core mission, because there's no one else to do it. Nacho provides US-based Executive Assistants, Specialists, and Fractional Executives who understand the nonprofit operating environment and can step in without a lengthy ramp-up. Whether you're managing a donor database, coordinating a gala, or drafting grant reports, we match you with talent that fits the work.
Nacho matches nonprofits with vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistants and Specialists who own the recurring work week after week, not one-off tasks. Onboarding starts with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, your Talent Budget starts at $1,000 a month, and matching takes about a week.

The challenge
01
Acknowledgment letters, pledge reminders, and year-end tax receipts pile up when program staff are pulled into administrative work. Delayed or inconsistent donor outreach directly affects retention and giving levels.
02
Tracking deadlines across multiple funders, formatting LOIs, compiling program data for reports, and maintaining a grants calendar is a part-time job on its own, one that often falls to an already-stretched development director.
03
Scheduling board meetings, preparing agenda packets, taking and distributing minutes, and following up on action items consumes significant time for executive directors who should be focused on strategy and external relationships.
04
Annual galas, volunteer appreciation events, and fundraising campaigns require vendor coordination, RSVPs, sponsorship tracking, and day-of logistics, work that rarely justifies a full-time hire but consistently overwhelms existing staff.
How it works
Nacho's model is a practical fit for nonprofits because it doesn't require you to justify a full-time headcount to your board. Your dedicated Client Success Manager builds a Delegation Strategy Plan at the start of the engagement, mapping your highest-priority administrative needs to the right tier of talent: whether that's an Executive Assistant handling donor correspondence in Bloomerang or Salesforce NPSP, a Specialist managing your communications calendar, or a Fractional Executive advising on development strategy. Your monthly Talent Budget starts at $1,000, up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month, and you're not locked into a long-term contract after the initial three months, which matters in a sector where funding and staffing realities can shift quickly.

Calendly What we've learned
Most nonprofits operate with a staffing model that assumes program delivery is the priority and administrative capacity is a luxury. That works until it doesn't: and the breaking point usually comes during a capital campaign, a leadership transition, or a grant reporting crunch. Development directors at organizations with annual budgets under $5M frequently have no dedicated support staff, meaning donor stewardship, event planning, and board communications all land on one or two people. Even larger organizations often have siloed teams where the communications function is under-resourced relative to program and development. Fractional and contract support has become a standard operating practice in the sector precisely because it lets organizations scale capacity around their fiscal year, campaign calendar, or grant cycle without adding permanent overhead that funders may not cover.
We've worked with nonprofits including Clayton Christensen Institute, Educational Testing Services (ETS), Real Discussion.
The model
This is ongoing delegation to one vetted, US-based person, not a task posted to a marketplace.
A one-time $300 onboarding fee pairs you with a Client Success Manager who maps what to hand off first. See the full process.
We match you with a vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistant or Specialist in your time zone. If the fit is not right, the Nacho Guarantee re-matches you free.
Budgets start at $1,000 a month and draw across Executive Assistants from $40/hr, Specialists from $65/hr, and Fractional Executives from $125/hr. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month. See pricing in detail.
The initial term is three months so the working relationship has time to compound, then it rolls month to month. Book a discovery call to size yours.
