Who We Are
Spruce is a communications and fund development consultancy. We help clients raise more money, inform the public, and make a stronger case for their causes.
We support organizations not just with execution, but also with strategy and capacity-building. This way, we can ensure the direction is right and the solutions stick.
Trusted by local and national non-profit clients, we are known for bringing strategic clarity, strong relationships, and reliable delivery. We work in English and French.
As a remote-first team, we are grateful to work on the traditional territories, treaty or unceded lands, and homelands of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
Our Services
-
This is a great place to start if your organization has outdated communications, a fragmented fundraising strategy, or if something just isn't landing the way it should.
Starting with an audit and strategy gives organizations a clear picture of where they stand and a concrete plan for where to go next. We help you understand what's working, what isn't, and what to prioritize.
-
Once the strategy is clear, we can support you with implementation. We provide support with a full range of communications and fund development deliverables, including websites, impact videos, grant applications, social media, and plain language review.
Every project is grounded in strategy so that deliverables support your overall goals.
-
We can help your staff to tell their story more effectively, write more clearly, and manage fund development with confidence.
Our training and professional development sessions are practical and tailored to your team. We provide in-person and remote training and coaching.

Our approach
We start with strategy
Good communications and fund development start with clear thinking. We take time to understand your goals, your audience, and what success looks like for your organization. The strategy shapes everything that follows, providing a direction for new growth.
We work alongside you
We see our role as a strategic partner, not just a service provider. As a project evolves, we communicate, follow through, and adapt. The result is great work and a trusting, lasting relationship.
