Modern Usage is the name that I (Charles Legere) work under as a fundraising consultant. I guide organizations through every phase of the development pipeline, from finding funding to stewardship. I can prepare proposals and reports, and also help organizations fit those efforts into the bigger picture. One of the most effective tools I can build for a nonprofit is a fundraising plan with a step-by-step task list to secure the funding an organization needs to realize its goals (Photo by Sean Carroll.)
