Help! What should I do about a flakey fundraiser?

Veritas

Dear Veritas,

Our small US-based nonprofit serving poor families in the Global South recently hired a fundraiser. He charged $25,000 upfront and, based on his reputation, we agreed to contract with him to increase our funding. Over three months, he did not produce any donations and did not respond to phone calls and emails. What should we do?
