Leveraging Fundraising to Fuel Sustainable Growth
Through the co-creation of comprehensive development plans, we help leverage your fundraising to build visibility, organizational capacity and a stronger base of support to bolster your next chapter of growth.
Create a Vision for Growth
We guide the development of a bold, yet realistic vision for growth that allows donors to quickly grasp the impact of your growth on the issues they care about and inspires them to invest.
Effectively Engage your Donors
We work with you to provide meaningful and ongoing engagement activities that build and deepen relationships with your donors.
Building Assets
We help you develop and implement short and long-term fundraising goals through plan design, coaching, and effective communication and donor engagement strategies.
Assessing Your Growth Potential
We use our proven 5 Drivers of Growth and Sustainability to assess your organization’s relative strengthens and opportunities and determine the most effective fundraising strategies to attract new donors and diverse, revenue sources. Our assessments include in-depth engagement with key constituents and best practice and data analytics. The result is a customized set of strategic and tactical recommendations on how to position the organization for sustainable growth and impact, including plans for annual fundraising and major campaigns.
A “More than Money” Approach
Too many organizations undertaking fundraising initatives overlook the opportunity to leverage their fundraising activities to further engage key constituents, build visibility for their organizations and missions and a stronger, broader base of support to drive the next chapter of growth. We see it differently. Donor and funder development is about more than just bringing in dollars, it is one of your organization’s best strategic growth tools. We help organizations take full advantage of their fundraising activities to build and strengthen the organization’s core assets, including its brand, constituency, leadership, and impact. We do this through smart design and a “more than money” approach that uses fundraising to transform organizations.
