Fundraising Support When and Where You Need It.

We have the opportunity to invite others to be part of our worthy cause and give their time, talent, and treasure. If we take away the opportunity for someone to invest in any one of those categories, we are doing them a disservice. 

The fundraising process allows us to open doors for the community to become part of the great work we are doing in a different way and often for different reasons.  This is our chance to share our passion and let everyone be a part of what we believe can change the world.

Your world might be social justice, animal welfare, or human services. Let’s ensure we aren’t wasting our opportunity for people to hear us loud and clear and join our mission.

Why should we invest in fund development?

Improving your fundraising strategies opens your organization up to accept the gifts that are available to you.  Yes, you can accept one-time gifts from donors at any time.  I am sure you have a snail mailbox and an online donation page.  Donors can make gifts to your organization when and if they find you.
How they go about finding your organization, understanding clearly how your mission makes an impact on the community, and how to become involved can be a different story.  

Will they make a second gift to you?  
So, what happens it they do find you and they do make a gift? Would they give again? Did their gift giving experience give them the confidence to stay engaged? Perhaps,  yes.  Do you want to hope for the gift or prepare for it?  Do you want to confidently look at your numbers and understand what is next for each donor?  How will you connect with them?  How will you share your success?  Will technology start to work for you?

I am excited to help you answer YES to these questions.  
We will work together to make sense of your fundraising strategies.  We will work together to create a plan that works for you now and into the future.  

What happens if you wait?
You might consider waiting, and I understand that.  Remember, I worked in organizations with tight budgets, and everyone wore multiple “hats.”  We knew that without donors and gifts, we couldn’t continue operating.  Let me repeat that:  we knew that without donors and gifts, we couldn’t continue operating.  Ah yes, FUNDRAISING!  That is exactly what you are waiting for. 

FUNDRAISING!  Let’s get started and move your fundraising strategies forward.

Services

I created this company to be a support to nonprofit organizations in their fundraising endeavors. This includes strategy, implementation, coaching individuals, and so much more. I focus on organizations with small development teams (0-3 people). Fundraising is all about relationships and my services are no different. With over 15+ years of experience as a fundraising professional, I understand that each organization is different.  We all start at different places and have different needs.  If you are searching for support, reach out for a consultation call to see if we will be a good fit. If not, I’ll try to find you a referral to someone else I know!
