Fundraising
We're ready to raise more.
From a first annual plan to a capital campaign, we build the program and the discipline behind it.
What good looks like
A written plan with a target by source, so you know where the money is supposed to come from before the year starts. A retention rate you can state as a number and move on purpose. A major gifts portfolio that someone actually works, with the next touch scheduled. Grants on a calendar. A board that asks. None of this is complicated. It's just work that has to be done in order, by someone who has done it before.
How we can help
We've raised over $100 million inside nonprofits, not from the outside looking in.
- Plan
- A development audit and an annual fundraising plan you can run yourself.
- Build
- We design the major gifts program, the recurring giving program, the grant calendar, and hand it over working.
- Partner
- A fractional Chief Development Officer who owns the number with you, quarter by quarter, until you're ready to hire one.
