Our Services
Using our four-part approach, we help you look at and learn from your data, unpack
the information, dream big, and execute practical solutions that help you build a
successful fundraising strategy.
Are you ready for the challenges of today’s fundraising landscape?
Nonprofits and philanthropy are adapting to a changing world. You’re trying to balance higher donor expectations while managing limited resources, with inexperienced or few fundraising staff. It’s easy to waste time and money. It’s easy to feel burned out.
Yet, fundraising success still depends on the donor relationships you steward, nurture, and grow.
It’s not just a measure of revenue raised.
We know fundraising inside and out, from your perspective and the donor’s. Here’s how we put that expertise to work for you, developing smart approaches that best use your resources to raise more money.
Assess
A good starting point is evaluating what’s working in your fundraising, your donors’ behavior trends, and where you have opportunities to grow. We conduct planning studies and research to ensure you embark on the best path for your organization.
- Fundraising Assessments
- Digital Audits & Analytics
- Campaign Planning Studies
- Prospect Research
Dream
We help you dream big. What is your “why?” What is your dream impact? Fundraising all starts with how you tell your story and define your impact and vision for the future so that donors feel inspired to invest in you. We help you articulate your case, results, and aspirations that you can weave into your messaging.
