Fundraising strategy and coaching
Whether you are new to fundraising, or have been doing it for decades, everyone can use an experienced outside voice to guide them. I can analyze and prioritize your fundraising activities, perform a development assessment and create a comprehensive fundraising plan, coach and engage staff and board members in philanthropy, and help you identify resources that will increase giving across your organization. In partnership, we can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your development work.
Capital campaigns
Trying to decide if now is the right time to launch a capital campaign? I can help define your needs and perform a feasibility study. Looking to start your campaign but not sure where to begin? I can help create and articulate a compelling story for donors, and provide counsel on who to ask, and how. Struggling to close a campaign? I will bring proven strategies and ideas to get you across the finish line.
Storytelling and writing
How do you tell your story and make people want to give? How do you share your impact with a fundraising lens? There are so many places where you can, and must, inspire donor support through words, such as newsletters, appeals, website, social media. Including the right content in a way proven to raise more money makes all the difference! I can share the how and why of effective storytelling and writing, and even create the content you need to raise more money.
Board training
Do you want your board to be more involved with fundraising, but you don’t know how to best engage them and use their talent? I deliver an interactive training (both online or in-person) that introduces board and staff to the basics of fundraising and the different ways they can, and should, be involved. We explore the various roles they can play and dive into how to tell the story of your organization in a way that creates connection and inspires people to support your mission.
