America First Philanthropy...

Fundraising strategy, financial leadership, and operational discipline for nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and PACs that refuse to lose. "Go 1-0 today. Stack enough wins and you change everything."

WHY 1-0

One win. Zero losses.That’s the standard.

We don’t believe in “pretty good” fundraising or “decent” donor retention. We believe in winning—one day at a time, one task at a time, one donor at a time.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
How do you build a $10M organization? One system at a time.

1-0 ISN'T A RECORD. IT'S A DISCIPLINE

OUR SERVICES

Fractional Chief Development Officer.

Our Fractional CDO service gives you senior fundraising leadership—without the full-time salary, benefits, and overhead that comes with a traditional hire. You get a strategic partner who assesses your situation, builds a custom fundraising plan, and coordinates execution across the channels that make sense for your organization.

Not a cookie-cutter package. Not a menu of services you don’t need. A disciplined strategy built around your mission, your donors, and your budget.

AI-Powered Efficiency: Smart automation built into your existing workflows — donor communications, reporting, content production. Your team moves faster, your data stays protected, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Major Donor Cultivation Systematic relationship development that turns prospects into partners. Identification, qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship—built to last.

Direct Mail Acquisition, retention, and upgrades through disciplined direct mail execution. Still the workhorse when done right.

Digital Fundraising Email, SMS, and online giving programs that meet donors where they live. Every click measured. Every dollar tracked.

Grant Writing Foundation prospect research, proposal writing, and grant management. Professional pursuit of institutional dollars.

Events Galas, dinners, and fundraising experiences designed for ROI—not just RSVPs. Cultivation engines, not black holes.

Built for organizations that carry the mission forward.

OUR MISSION

We build systems that last.

1-0 Consulting exists for one reason: to help America First organizations grow without losing their soul.

Too many mission-driven groups struggle with the same problems—inconsistent fundraising, board dysfunction, operational chaos, and donor fatigue. They’re doing important work, but they’re doing it inefficiently. WE FIX THAT.

We bring Fortune 500 discipline to patriotic causes. We build donor pipelines that compound over years, not just election cycles. We install systems that make boards confident and auditors bored.

OUR CLIENTS DON'T JUST SURVIVE. THEY SCALE
