Working collaboratively with nonprofit leadership and development program staff, I craft detailed, strategic multi-year plans for your fundraising efforts. Plan recommendations might pertain to budget revisions, staffing, and fundraising infrastructure/development operations, as well as donor database software recommendations and prioritized implementation timelines.
I also suggest the most appropriate roles and responsibilities for nonprofit senior leadership, advancement staff, your nonprofit organization’s board members, and other volunteers supporting your not-for-profit’s fundraising efforts.
A Customized Strategic Fundraising Plan Based on Fundraising Audit Results
I partner with your team to determine the best customized approach with respect to your fundraising budget and timing. My reports are succinct, actionable, and include detailed analyses of fundraising metrics, which inform my strategic development plans. My nonprofit consulting clients particularly appreciate the prioritized summary of recommendations by quarter, for the coming fiscal year.
Deliverables focused on six key elements of fundraising success:
- Vision & Plan
- Leadership
- Fundraising Program
- Overall Program—Data and Observations
- Annual Fund, Major Gifts, Campaign
- Marketing & Communications
- Prospects & Donors
- Staffing & Infrastructure
Nonprofit Fundraising Expertise For Challenging Times
Particularly during these challenging times for non-profit organizations – when the COVID-19 pandemic and global racial equity and social justice reckoning has caused increased competition among NPOs for philanthropic dollars – it is critical for nonprofits to create, refine, and implement very strategic development plans.
