You’re doing good work.
We’re here to help it grow further.

You didn’t start this to chase metrics.
You’re here to serve people, fulfill a calling, and make lasting change.

But let’s be honest: the nonprofit space is evolving fast.
What used to work isn’t working anymore.

You’re under pressure to do more—with fewer resources—and it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most.

That’s where we come in.

Fundraising has changed. Has your strategy?

Acquiring donors is harder. Keeping their attention is harder. And the channels and strategies that worked even a few years ago aren’t delivering the same results today.
But the answer isn’t simply another campaign, another platform, or another agency.

It’s understanding how the entire donor journey works together.

At mission:activate, we help you step back and see the bigger picture (rom how donors discover you to what happens after they give) so you can make smarter decisions, strengthen relationships, and build sustainable revenue over time.

Let’s activate what’s possible.

what our clients say

“There is no one I know who knows the profile of donors, language necessary to move donors, and execution of strategy like Todd and Kristen.”

I have had the pleasure of working with Todd and Kristen Chatman around 20 years, and have spent over 35 years working in Media personally myself.

I can unequivocally say that they are some of the most qualified, insightful, customer focused professionals that I have EVER worked with. Not only have I had the pleasure of working along side of them on projects, but when I have been in a position of needing their expertise and execution, I have hired them myself to do what I consider to be the finest work in our industry.

There is no one I know who knows the profile of donors, language necessary to move donors, and execution of strategy like Todd and Kristen. I can’t recommend them highly enough. In the last 2 years alone at Christian Solidarity International, they have brought things to the table that had never been thought of, and have improved our efforts exponentially in our donor campaigns. Don’t think too long about it … start benefiting from their expertise NOW!

“I had the pleasure of working with Todd Chatman during my time at Food For The Poor, where he partnered with our team to grow and strengthen our radio fundraising efforts.”

Todd brought fresh strategy, creative energy, and a deep understanding of both media and donor motivation.

Thanks in large part to his leadership, collaboration, and passionate advocacy for Food For The Poor’s mission, our radio channel reached new heights of success and became a vital stream of support for the organization.

Todd is not only a skilled media strategist, but also a true partner who cares deeply about the causes he serves.”

Look no further — you’ve found the dynamic duo you need.

These two are the real deal: they invest in their clients with a level of dedication I’ve rarely seen from consultants. Their skills are second to none, their wisdom and experience off the charts. There are very few I could recommend more highly. And on top of all that, they’re fun, approachable and an absolute joy to work with — an underrated quality that makes all the difference. Simply some of the very best. You’ll only wish you’d found them sooner.

I have known Todd and Kristen Chatman for years and both are compassionate warriors on behalf on nonprofits here and around the world.

I’ve personally traveled with Todd to the most remote areas of Haiti, Guatemala and other nations and seen his love for the poorest of the poor. Todd and Kristen are hands-on visionaries whom I cannot recommend highly enough as you seek to expand your nonprofit’s growth.

Todd Chatman is a hungry go-getter who knows the right people, knows (literally) everything about media, and knows how to fundraise with precision.

Not only that, but he's a caring person who genuinely connects with the organizations he serves on a personal level. He has been a great support in the marketing efforts of CURE International!

I've worked in the nonprofit world for many, many years, and for the past 14 of those, I've been helping organizations wtih software solutions. Along the way, you meet certain people you know you'll stay connected with forever.

A perfect example of that is Kristen Chatman. She is an absolute powerhouse.

If she doesn't understand something, she researches it until she does. If something isn't working the way it should, she rolls up her sleeves and finds a way to make it better. Her drive, curiosity, and dedication are unmatched.

When Kristen moved into consulting, I was always proud to recommend her. Now, she and her husband, Todd, who also has deep experience in this space, have launched mission:activate. And honestly, the name says it all. They help organizations activate every possible resource to grow and strengthen their missions.

Whether you're new to fundraising or have beein in the field for decades, Kristen and Todd bring the dedication, expertise, insight and energy to help you succeed in an ever-changing landscape.

Anyone who has the opportunity to work with them is truly fortunate. Their clients benefit not only from their deep knowledge and experience, but also from their genuine passion for helping nonprofits make a difference.

I wish them continued succss—and have no doubt mission:activate will make a lasting impact.
