Annual Fund

Your organization only gets one or two opportunities a year to connect with its widest base of individual donors. What stories are you telling, and how are you reaching your supporters?

Count on our experience to craft donor-centric messages that resonate with your audiences. We can segment your lists to tailor your appeals to donor’s interests and giving history. Our multi-channel strategies reach your supporters more effectively, inviting their interest, engagement, and advocacy for your mission and programs. Keep your annual fund at the forefront of your communication year-round with optimized acknowledgement correspondence and policies to encourage additional giving.

Grant Writing and Management

Grant support is the backbone of a sustainable fundraising model, and it takes experience to identify the who, what, when, where, and why of successful proposals. With a grants scan, learn about opportunities match your goals. We will work with you to prioritize and create a proposal calendar that keeps these opportunities at your fingertips. Never miss another opportunity!

Let us help you craft compelling letters of inquiry, proposals, and reports that keep donors engaged. Our experience with a wide variety of local and national foundations; state and federal government programs; and corporate foundations helps tell your story with the reader in mind.

 

Membership and Alumni Programs

Does your program serve both your members/alumni and your organization? Is it poised for growth?

We can partner with you to develop and optimize multi-channel acquisition strategies. Your membership materials, which we can develop, are built around levels, rates and structures that promote renewals and upgrades. We can help you grow your program through member or alumni satisfaction surveys, focus groups, and audits of your signage, staffing, and policies.

Looking for a deep dive of membership data? We partner exclusively with Diane Ward of Membership Matters (hyperlink) on membership data audits to bring you the most thorough understanding of your program’s health, trajectory, and benchmarking against industry standards.

Search and Interim Placement

Time to grow or fill an open position? Tap into our network and hiring know-how to grow your development team. Don’t lose momentum or exhaust your staff when some leaves. We can fill that role while you find the right person. And, we can help you find the right development and membership candidates, from entry level to executive searches. We work with you to find the candidates who match your work style, organizational culture, and the experience you need.

We will conduct the appropriate background and reference checks and will help you negotiate an offer when you find the ideal candidate. 

Special Events

When it comes to fundraising events, it is easy to lose sight of whether your event is working for you or you are simply working to produce an event. Let us handle the details and budget so you can focus on getting your top supporters to the table.

We can help you plan events that are mission-driven, creative, and attractive to your current and prospective supporters. We manage the details—catering, location, entertainment, invitations and RSVPs, and more—while involving, energizing, and guiding your committee members and staff.

Events are one of the most labor-intensive ways to raise funds for your mission. Let us help you preserve your staff’s time and raise your net revenue.
