WHEN should you work with us?

While many organizations hire fundraising consultants for various reasons, we are uniquely positioned to address these specific situations:  

  • Does your organization aspire to take fundraising to the next level?

    This could be expanded fundraising goals or campaign aspirations. We can help you get started and guide you through the journey.

  • Is there significant fundraising capacity work to be done?

    Campaign preparation begins with a thorough assessment of your fundraising program and donor capacity. We thrive in helping institutions through case development or enhancement, prospect assessment, strategic fundraising/campaign planning and resource identification. 

  • Are there specific areas of your program that you wish to elevate?

    This may include evaluating programs or departments, integrating strategies across development, marketing and communications to identify new donor pipelines, creating strategic donor experiences that bring your fundraising priorities to life, or implementing new approaches into how you collect and evaluate donor or program data.

  • Would you benefit from a strategic thought partner who brings an experienced, outside perspective?

    We’re here for you. One of our strengths is asking the important questions and co-creating ideas. Sometimes, a smart discussion is all you need.
