Needed: Someone To Hold Down The Fort

If your development department is only two people and your Development Director goes on maternity leave, what’s a small organization to do? We came in to mind the shop. Overseeing the assistant, following through on tasks and event planning already in place, working with staff and Board of Directors to bring well-laid plans to fruition. Our experience meant that minimal time was needed to be brought up to speed and our ethics meant that you could be secure in the knowledge that sensitive information would remain private and that budgets were respected.

Needed: A Clear Marketing Strategy And The Products To Execute It

A small non-profit with no dedicated development staff needed perspective on their marketing products and membership strategy. They needed to grow their base but a muddled message was getting in the way of reaching their potential constituents. We helped streamline their message and clarify their identity, developing a brochure and appeal letter that focused on their target audience and highlighted their mission and strengths.

Needed: Event Consulting and Support

How can you grow your annual gala from a small gathering to an annual fundraiser that no one wants to miss and that produces dependable revenue? This was our clients challenge. The solution: we came in and simplified the format, improved the flow, pumped up the quality of the auction and the extras and cut event costs to increase efficiency and net revenue. The outcome is a fun and steadily growing event that puts the money raised in the organizations coffers and not in the pockets of the vendors.

Needed: Fundraising Ideas for Non-Fundraisers

A niche-market, fee-for-service non-profit needed to grow their reach and learn fundraising strategies that they could implement utilizing their limited resources. We worked together to carefully choose and develop a few projects that would have both maximum marketing impact and maximum revenue potential.

Needed: A Structure and A Strategy

A fifteen-year old organization was losing its focus and facing the impending loss of their founding director. A structure needed to be developed for the first time to properly support the organizations core mission and encourage their thoughtful strategic growth. We gathered information, listened to the staff and helped the client fine tune their mission and sharpen their focus creating a foundation that would sustain them for years to come.
