Articulate vision and strategy
Clear organizational direction is the first prerequisite of philanthropic investment.
Evaluate fundraising capacity
Your organization has big ideas; does it have the donor base, culture and infrastructure to bring them to life?
Craft compelling messaging
Philanthropic communication is a lot more than mere ‘packaging.’ It’s a way of connecting donors to the organization in ways they find personally meaningful.
Plan for success
A carefully crafted development plan is essential to keep both staff and volunteers focused on the activities that result in revenue.
Execute with excellence
A development plan is a useful map, but a successful journey often requires a guide who can help navigate the ever-changing donor landscape.
Ensure leadership
The entire process of visioning, planning strategy and obtaining funding hinges on the presence of dynamic and capable leaders.
