Mallory is a fundraising consultant, executive coach, AND the Founder/CEO of Practivated. She’s been in the fundraising consulting space for years and has worked with over 40 technology companies in various capacities. Now, as a tech founder, she’s built a partnership program designed to actually be mutually beneficial—because she’s lived what doesn’t work. She even has her own licensing agreement with Practivated to keep her consulting business and tech business appropriately separated.

Mallory Erickson works at the intersection of fundraising strategy, executive coaching, and behavior design to help nonprofit professionals master the most human part of their job, connection. A former fundraiser turned coach, she’s the creator of the Power Partners Formula™️, a framework that has helped over 60,000 nonprofit leaders raise more from aligned funders without burnout, overwhelm, or compromise.

She is the author of What the Fundraising and host of the podcast by the same name, where she unpacks the hidden systems that shape how fundraisers show up, from chronic stress and perfectionism to the scarcity mindset embedded in the sector’s DNA. Her work centers on the belief that when we support the people behind the purpose, we get better results and a more sustainable social impact sector.

In 2024, Mallory launched Practivated, an AI-powered platform where fundraisers can practice real donor conversations in a safe, dynamic environment. Think: a flight simulator for fundraising. From big asks to tough objections, Practivated helps fundraisers rehearse, refine, and build confidence because performance improves with practice, and fundraisers deserve that too.
