Favilla Consulting Group was founded by Rodney West to address a critical gap in the nonprofit sector: the need for thoughtful, strategic fundraising support for small to mid-sized organizations.

These organizations are often driven by strong missions and dedicated teams, but many lack the internal capacity to fully develop and execute a comprehensive fundraising strategy. With limited staff and competing priorities, essential functions like donor cultivation, partnership development, and sustainable fundraising planning can fall to the side.

The result is often fundraising that feels reactive rather than intentional.

Favilla Consulting Group was created to change that.


Our Story

From a spark to sutainable growth

Favilla, the Latin word for “ember,” represents the starting point of every organization’s fundraising journey.

For many small and mid-sized nonprofits, fundraising begins as that ember—a spark of effort, driven by passion and necessity, but often without the structure needed to sustain and grow it.

At Favilla Consulting Group, we transform that ember into a roaring, sustainable flame.

Through intentional strategy, stronger systems, and deeper donor relationships, we help organizations build fundraising engines that don’t burn out—but continue to generate energy, stability, and growth over time.

Because with the right guidance, that initial ember doesn’t just flicker, it becomes a powerful, enduring force that fuels your mission forward.
