Fundraising Services
Inspiring vision, securing support.
We do more than help institutions raise funds—we also help empower their people to inspire supporters and secure major investments for a better future.
Through tailored counsel, comprehensive assessments, personalized coaching, and dynamic planning, we guide leaders and their teams in building strong and productive connections with constituents.
Fundraising Counsel & Coaching
From facilitating board and staff retreats, to providing principal gift counsel, to launching a campaign, we help your team develop the skills, strategies, and confidence to secure transformative support.
Fundraising Strategy Development
We help institutions develop multiyear fundraising campaigns, identify gaps in current strategies, and recommend targeted improvements that enhance annual campaigns, build an endowment, and develop funding avenues.
Audits, Assessments, and Data-Driven Strategy
We provide recommendations on how to maximize the use of available data and identify critical metrics for future success. This assessment helps institutions refine donor pipelines, establish a foundation for growth, and create a clear roadmap for success.
Campaign Management & Execution
Whether we help you craft clear objectives, build effective teams, design strategies that inspire donors, or guide your campaign from start to finish, we prioritize results.
Donor Engagement and Stewardship
We help institutions develop personalized donor-engagement strategies and recognition programs that cultivate deep donor relationships and lead to sustained support.
Interim Advancement Leadership
Whether to deliver strategic guidance, manage day-to-day challenges, or oversee principal giving, we provide the expertise that drives your fundraising efforts during critical periods.
Fundraising Creative
From campaign messaging strategies and case development to microsites, pitch decks, and videos, we craft compelling narratives custom-built to resonate with your community. Our expertise also extends to giving-day and annual-fund strategies and messaging.
Advancement Software Integration
At most institutions, the family of available software is, in a word, dysfunctional. We assess your current suite of options, provide insight on new possibilities, and help you build integrated constituent databases, communications tools, and tracking mechanisms.
