Fundraising Strategy

 

Where is there room to grow and what will it take to get there? We’ll work with your organization’s leadership to create a future fundraising strategy tailored to your programmatic goals. If needed, a feasibility study can also be conducted in tandem. Let us bring the strategy and implementation you need to ensure your organization’s growth is intentional and sustainable. 

Grant Writing

 

Sometimes there’s a staffing gap and you just need assistance with a single application. Sometimes you want to give working together a trial run before committing. Whatever the reason, crafting a single grant proposal from scratch takes between 5 and 25 hours, depending on the complexity of the application. 

Have an application that was rejected that you would like to revise and resubmit? Includes a read-through to provide feedback and suggestions for improvement, and a narrative rework to tailor an existing application for a specific funding opportunity.

Available hourly and on retainer. Can include researching prospective funders and crafting a deadline calendar.

Fundraising Audit

 

Where are you leaving money on the table? A fundraising audit reviews your organization’s current fundraising strategies and your data management systems, soup to nuts, to help identify where your organization can improve or streamline its existing fundraising program. Includes a recommendation of systems and best practices to improve donor retention and stewardship. 

Board Development

 

What does it mean to be a board member? How can I help my organization when I hate fundraising? Our board coaching services include training on the basics of nonprofit fundraising and making the ask, board member roles and responsibilities, and identifying your core values and developing your personal philanthropy.

Communications

 

Help donors get to know your organization and build a more a lasting connection to your mission. Our web services are designed to enhance your existing fundraising strategy by crafting content for your website, e-newsletter, and social media. We also have experience with targeted fundraising appeals for direct mail, web, and email solicitations.  

Available hourly and on retainer.

Prospect Research

 

Analyze several years of giving history to identify individual donor prospects for further cultivation. Then, we can suggest a quarterly donor stewardship strategy to build these relationships up to the point of making the ask.

Need help growing your foundation funding? Whether you’re just starting out or have robust regional funding and are looking to go national, we can compile a list of foundation prospects that align with your organization’s current funding priorities, and if needed, a recommended strategy and deadline calendar for each focus area.
