Understanding the Role
What is a Fractional CMO?
A Fractional CMO is a senior marketing executive who works with your nonprofit on a part-time or project basis, providing the same strategic leadership as a full-time Chief Marketing Officer—but at a fraction of the cost.
The Key Difference: Ownership vs. Execution
Unlike marketing agencies or contractors who execute tasks, a Fractional CMO owns your strategy, outcomes, and revenue growth. They take executive accountability for results, not just deliverables.
This means you get C-level strategic thinking, data-driven decision making, and someone who's invested in your long-term success—without the six-figure salary of a full-time executive.
Perfect for nonprofits that need:
- Strategic marketing leadership without a full-time executive salary
- Someone who owns fundraising outcomes and donor growth
- Hands-on implementation combined with strategic vision
