The world is run by those who show up.
Old adage
Resource Development Planning
An organization’s growth is limited if the fundraising strategy is simply to respond to opportunities as they arise. I work with organizations to anticipate success by facilitating intentional and comprehensive resource development planning. Analyzing past performance, brainstorming constituencies, defining goals and strategies, and creating an annual work plan are instrumental in focusing resource development efforts and achieving success.
Training and Mentoring on Fundraising Competencies
Fundraising can be intimidating for staff, board, and volunteers. Whether making cold calls to prospective supporters or crafting a new project proposal, someone with more experience can provide perspective and instill confidence. My services in training and mentoring on fundraising competencies help to demystify fundraising and offer practical ways for people to get involved.
Organizational and Departmental Audits
Many organizations struggle to identify all of the needs within an organization and determine criteria for prioritization. By partnering to conduct organizational and departmental audits, together we can assess your organization’s assets and find the most meaningful opportunities for improvement.
Writing and Editing
A deliberate effort to capture and articulate your organization’s story is instrumental in communicating your success to current and prospective stakeholders. I can guide the process of creating case statements and other public relations materials that play an important role in preserving institutional memory, as well as in day-to-day fundraising and outreach efforts.
Retainer Services
Some organizations are not in a financial position to hire a full-time fundraising and communications specialist, or are not certain what their needs might be. Retainer services may be the solution for these organizations, offering confidence and flexibility in meeting ongoing needs while developing a longer-term vision for their sustainability and growth.
Interim Management
Whether a key staff member suddenly resigned, or a search did not result in the ideal candidate for hire, the work must still go on. Interim management services allow an organization to maintain the workload, plan for and manage change, and assist in a successful transition to new leadership.
