Our team can help you thoughtfully position your organization to grow and sustain its resources over time. We work with development teams and leaders from a variety of sectors, guiding budding major gift programs and established fund development operations alike. Our consultants bring decades of front-line fundraising experience, innovative ideas, and solid systems to each engagement.

We can help you establish fundraising policies and plans, launch new revenue strategies and programs, identify and evaluate potential donors, develop cultivation and solicitation strategies and skills, and create stewardship plans that nurture and strengthen donor relationships.

We provide full service support with grants—researching opportunities, project management, program design, writing, editing, quality assurance and submission. We specialize in helping our clients navigate highly complex public funding opportunities and also focus on private and corporate foundation grants of all shapes and sizes. Our team can offer targeted help to build grant writing skills and capacity within your own team.

We write grant proposals that are technically correct and highly readable; provide capable project management and exacting quality assurance throughout; and make the grants process manageable, sane, and even enjoyable. We interpret the nuances of an RFP, research best practices, think through the program design with you, and help you construct budgets.

We can help you plan and launch a campaign to fund your visionary effort and raise an ambitious amount of money within a specific period of time. Our consultants can support with campaign strategy and implementation: we offer systems to keep campaign ambassadors organized, a timeline tailored to your campaign, a process for prospective donor pipeline development (including prospect research and screenings through iWave), coaching for campaign leadership in navigating gift conversations and soliciting generous gifts, and a framework for developing a compelling case for support for your campaign.
