Proven impact deserves the capacity to grow.

The Kitzenberg Group helps ambitious nonprofits build the fundraising strategy, systems, and confidence to scale their impact— without losing sight of what made the work matter in the first place.

We believe fundraising is not separate from mission. Done well, it is how more people become part of the mission, and how proven ideas gain the resources to reach further. Our vision is a future in which high-performing nonprofits scale their impact as confidently as they built it, backed by fundraising capacity that matches their ambition.

Built at the intersection of advancement and operations

Elizabeth Kitzenberg founded The Kitzenberg Group after two decades spent inside complex institutions, growing nonprofits, and an entrepreneurial business. Across those settings, she saw the same truth: strategy succeeds only when people, systems, and execution can support it.

The Kitzenberg Group brings those experiences together: the rigor and relationship-building of institutional advancement, the adaptability of entrepreneurial leadership, and the practical understanding required to turn a good plan into a working reality.
